Who does K-Pro Tuning?
I was wondering who can squeeze good, but safe numbers out of my k swap. Well, here is my setup:
K20a
DTR 4-2-1 Header
RBC Intake Manifold
Hondata IM Gasket
70mm BDL Throttle Body
Buddy Club Prospec Exhaust
*Should i get injectors?

You get what you pay for, If you want it done right and dont want your motor to blow pay the extra money, because a couple extra hundred dollars definitely beats replacing the whole motor if you go the cheap route

Learn to do it yourself....it's not hard. And no you don't need injectors unless your injector duty is hitting over 90%. Injectors are good as they are for NA unless it's fully built with stg 3 cams higher cr etc. I'll give the gist of it
Load a calibration to work from
Tune af to your desired level at WOT doing 3rd gear pulls (normally 12.8-13.2 NA) and get rid of any knocks that you have.
Go to the dyno and do a dyno run for each cam angle on the low cam and high cam.
Use that to make a composite cam angle map and find best vtec point.
Add ignition and do a run to see if it adds more power. Take away ignition and run to see if the power stays same with less ignition.
Decrease ignition 1-2 degrees from max power for reliability and thats it.
Doing that yourself will save you $$$ but get familar with kpro first. Price for renting dyno at DTP is $125 a hour. This can be done in probably 1-2 hours.
