Happy??? picked up 5 whp when dyno tuned. It's a fuel controller that overrides ECU output for injectors... also controls VTEC switchover point. So if you are past the basic IHE mods, then this is for you! I picked up an S-AFC for controlling 440 injectors in turbo app'n.

Oh yes!!! Very much so... think of it as like a user-friendly/tunable chip

Can not change redline...

And once you have it tuned...there is almost no reason to change your settings because if you tuned it right...well...it's right.

Handata is a far better tuning tool in my opinion...just not as bling bling as a V-AFC in the cockpit

Well, just to give you some of my opinion...after a month or so...the novelty of the V-AFC wears off and you wish you had something more than just a light show.
