How good is a Vtec Controller?

I have an 03 M/T Ex with a CAI and a muffler with 2.25'' piping. After a couple more bolt-ons, should I get the APEXi VTEC Controller? Is it a waste of money??

omg vafc means vtec airflow fuel controller OMG! Self explanitory, but I get why you mean is it worth it, hmmm I guess if you have enough bolt ons it should do you some good, but I've heard lots of problem with our cars and vafc that it doesnt work n stuff.

So it basically let's you disable/enable your VTEC whenever you want, and you can put the fuel ratio at 100% or somethin' like that right?

You need to buy the new version. The VAFC II. The original will trigger the CEL unless you have your own wiring plan and figured out the problem. Either way, the new one will work fine.

the vafc II doesnt have any issues with the car, as someone stated above, and its well worth it imo, just make any air/fuel mod work that much more for you, it also has many more feat. then the old one, do a bit of research and you will see what im talking about.

What kind of gains are you guys getting from the VAFC II? HP, Torque, Mpg? Dyno, GTech, butt dyno, etc?
