If your not running nitrous or anything to make you run leaner do NOT go above 4%, you'll start to bog your engine and maybe even flood it.

My settings were gradually rising to 4% all the way across to 7000 RPM.

Low throttle start at -2%.

High THrottle start at 0%. ANd gradually go up between the two.

yeah see..that's what i'm not understanding.. why would you even have a negative number? doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the S-AFC?

Do not set any negative numbers in the safc!
This will substract fuel.
0 is stock, do not go below stock.
Use negative numbers if you upgrade injectors or fuel system.
Do not set too much in low or narrow throttle, the engine will bog down.
Main increase are set in wide open throttle, and not too much if you are running stock, believe me.
Do not go over 12-15% the ecu will think you are running boost!
I recomend settings in wide throttle only (if stock), starting at 4000 or 4500 rpms and increasing to 7000 in a slope angle. Starting 4000/+2 and ending in 7000/+5 or +6.
This way my car felt the best!

I was reading this thread and thinkin about what ppl where saying... after watch the a/f on a civic EX. the car from the factory runs rich. negative numbers are the only thing thats going to make power. so your sentence is kinda bad. Perfect a/f is where the most power is. Also you and another gentleman are adding fuel all the way to redline which is a no no. From what I am gathering you are adding increments through out the power band however thats not how engine works. The engine uses the most fuel where the torque and hp curve meet after that fuel starts to go down again. even though hp is going up. Hope this helps.
