You need to get a wide band on it.  Its really the best way to tune IMO.  Do you have a FPR?  What injectors are you running?  Are you running an open BOV (venting to atmosphere)  did you change out your fuel pump?

depends on what u want and how much u willing to spend? Those are questions u should be asking for a wideband.

Your running on a basemap that is why you are so rich.  Get it dyno tuned by someone who knows what they are doing.  Then do some research on turbocharged hondas.
