If you're leaving the car stock, I definitely would not "waste" the money getting a pro tune. You can definitely do it yourself since it's stock.

I started out with Flashpro on a stock vehicle as well, and it was definitely worth the money (bought used). It made the engine feel livelier and rev higher which is useful sometimes.

Flashpro software includes a map for stock vehicles, called "stock tuned". It's available in both MAF and MAP variants...but I would suggest you use MAP since it reduces revhang the most, pretty much getting rid of it altogether. Both of them lower the VTEC point to something in the 4xxx range (i forget exactly what RPM).

However, make sure you can tune the car based on the stock-tuned calibration since, in my case, there was a lot of knock in the midrange and the A/F ratio was a bit off. I mainly dealt with WOT when I started out since it's the easiest part and after I got rid of all the knock and perfected WOT A/F ratios, I moved on to advance ignition a bit. After I got WOT sorted out, I started playing with the partial throttle. It's a long process but it feels quite rewarding.

If I were you, I would definitely read the download the Hondata software and read the help file. If you're not prepared to do some tuning yourself then I would suggest you not waste the money (unless you ballin').
