crome is another obd1 ROM editing program. Hondata, Neptune, eCtune, Uberdata are all ROM editors.
Neptune costs $450 US for the RTP board (do-it yourself version)
Hondata costs $600 US for the S300 (do-it yourself version)
Hondata K-pro is like $1000+ US
eCtune isn't available to the public yet other than at an authorized tuner
Uberdata is free
Crome is free
But with any of these ROM editors if you don't know what you're doing and you don't have all of the right equipment you have to pay someone to tune it.
And in able to use any of the above rom editors (execpt the hondata k-pro) you need to be using an obd1 ecu, so if you have a 1989-1991 civic/integra or 1996-2000 civic (96-01 integra) you'll need an ecu conversion harness to convert to obd1.
IMO crome is more than sufficient for even a pretty high whp car, so for your average street car its quiet capable of running pretty much any setup realiably, safely and to its fullest power potential.
Neptune would be my next choice, if you felt like spending $450 US on an EMS. I've been using it on my car and its pretty much the same thing as crome but it has more features and everything works 100% (somethings in crome don't work, but IMO that doesn't really matter b/c it won't stop the tuner from being able to tune the car to its fullest), crome is lacking in features a little compared to neptune/hondata/eCtune. But it does still have a launch control, CEL shiftlight, and half-assed anti-lag.
