on a stock turbo motor yes
on a small block v8 maybe to yes
on your motor, no
honda's fuel and ignition maps are very good if not great from the factory with almost all of thier cars (except mine) with harnessing power out of what is given. mods add a whole new perspective on that though. basic mods will not require anything because of the ecu's ability to compensate. more aggrasive mods like big cams or headwork or turbo will need another item to optimize them. chips are not often spoken highly of with honda's because mods are always changing and there is truely no chip that can change with you. once you reach the point of no control from the stock ecu the only way to go is an engine management unit be it a basic pms or a full blown haltech or hondata. unfortuatly quik hp chips or quik hp for that matter for a honda does not exist that cheaply.
out of curiosity what kind of car/motor/setup does your friend have?
