I lost my RSX-S and im thinking about getting the 8, however i have been reading about this Stage 1, 2 etc.

Is this the 8 equivalent of Hondata? , Hondata as flashed directly into the ECU, canzoomer is attached to the ECU right?

Anyways, for a stage 2, what is needed besides a high flow cat? how about an aftermarket intake?

i was gonna get an rsx-s so i did a bunch of research on it. this is something like that, but ive heard the power 'kick in' at about 5000 rpm. the hondata w/ an aem cai was incredible. this is the rx8 version, but i have a feeling they got top end hp, and what i want is usable low/mid range power

Hondata is a stock ECU that has been reflashed with hondatas own coding to expand/remap

Canzoomers is more of a piggy back IMHO since it modifies the signals in/out of the stock ECU
