waste of money, a chip wont do sihit unless it's decently modified and your car has around 250HP other then that it ain't gonna do sihit...

oh ya...by saying decently "modified" i dont' mean Headers and Cold Air Intake

Civics come pretty well 'tuned' from the factory. In mostly stock trim, you won't gain anything with some sorta 'black box' device. There are no gains to be had there. Look into other performance options.

I dont think Hondata has even done anything for the D17 in our 7th gens yet.

Chips don't do a damned thing.
A custom tune however can, if your close to stock it's pointless.

Also I've yet to see anything for any 7th gen computer wise apart from the SiR.
