i dont know what model civic u have but if it's a EX, just get the stock ECU(p28) and get it chipped with a temporary basemap until u can go get a dyno tune,unless u plan on leaving your car for them to do everything, or if u dont have one u can always purchase an ECU already chipped, they go for an average of $180-$200. What i would do first is buy the baller headers from MR.KIDD before he runs out!!

. save up more money and get a set of stage 1 cams, (PRO1's

from skunk2,buddy club +3, dont get cheap shiet cuz most likely they'll give u less power than your stock type-r cams.
tryi-y header + PRO1's + dyno tune=

satisfaction guaranteed......
G/L with your plans
