Get a chipped ECU and have zeeman tune it. No questions asked if you don't go the route of a chipped and tuned ecu you sir, are retarded.

well if you don't already have a laptop, it seems a waste to spend almost a grand just for the laptop alone.
there are really only 3 methods: piggyback (AFC), chipped ECU with custom maps, or standalone.
I ran Hondata when my car was turbo'd, but it's really the same thing as a tuned chip from say zeeman (tuned on Neptune). Jon Cui's CROME is a good alternative as well.
AEM EMS and other standalones (Motec for example) are complicated to set up and prolly too much tuning ability for your needs.

I'd recommend just a wideband O2 and a nice chip, if you need adjustments later on, another chip is really pretty cheap compared to spending money on a laptop and EPROM burner.
