09 4 door civic si

I am new to the car game and was wondering what's a better chip to get the hondata or the jet series.

Also I'm looking to getting an intake as well and I was deciding on takeda or an aem!

And advice would be helpful!

Spend the money on more mods, IMO chips don't do much, other than give you a few extra horses in exchange for much more wear on your engine.

What kind of mods are good for my car. I read up up on a lot but do you have any recommendations?

I haven't done anything to my cars, just been around a lot of people who have.
How much money are you looking to spend is really the most important question.
There isn't too much that can be done without lots of cash.

Intake, exhaust, and pretty much anything that is outside of the engine can be changed for small gains, but if you are looking for major improvements you will need engine work.

Most of the guys around me don't have the cash, so they stop after gaining 30 hp or so without engine work.

One guy though sank 30k into his 2006. Now it's over 500 hp, but he has spent literally twice as much modding the car as he did buying the car.

Hondata is meant to be used along with other things like I/h/e turbo, larger injectors.

Jet chip is useless.

30k is way out of my price limit, but I do want add anywhere from 50-60 hp to my car.
