So for the most part we are go for tune. Now it's just a matter of one of us getting the time and money.
Btw: as far as heat concern goes, heat will get us either way. I've read a lot about J builds, and these engines are very susceptible to heat regardless, and superchargers, mostly twin screws vs centrifugal, make a lot of heat like turbos do.

Do note however that running a camshaft might not work so well with different methods of forced induction. Also bisimoto has recieved poor reviews regarding the quality of their regrinded camshafts; apparently not every camshaft is ground properly, so one of your cylinder banks will have a different camshaft then the other! As you can see, this could pose a serious engine problem quickly.
As far as contact with ktuner. I don't speak to him personally regarding these matters. Ktuner isn't very transparent or personal on the exact bits of what he's working on, nor gives frequent responses on the other forums, which as far as I know, are the only other forums for the accord 8 and 9th Gen he posts to. That being said, he is kind of distant with a very "itll get done when it gets done, or maybe not" type mentality. For this reason, it's hard for me to have much hope he'll answer the very few of us who are vocally requesting the ability to tune for forced induction on this particular vehicle. If you're looking to build all motor, and most likely cap out around 300 wheel horsepower, then the ability now exist. For anything more, it's up to how much money you have and your local speed shops talent.

If I had to guess, with magnaflow catback, atlp j pipe, high flow third cat, and aem intake with 93 octane base tune, I'm putting down no more than a measly 260 hp. And that may be being optimistic. Fi is the only way to go.
As far as quality and service from bisi goes as of late, I can't say. Never had a personal experience with them. Guess we'll find out. Lot of people happy to see them providing parts on the other forums.
