Someone with AEM intake and header gained 5whp after tuning. Our cars run rich from the factory, so tuning does help some. Plus the vafcii has other cool things like monitoring sensors, voltmeter, vtec, etc.

Fairly easy. It's just tapping ecu wires. I used the wire taps and did it sloppy in the winter, but it still works. Use the wire diagram in the tech forum to make it work right, and the color codes in the manual.

It's not going to help you, and it's not worth the money (in my opinion)


...but it sure does look cool.

No not yet. I'm gonna try and call to get an appointment for Saturday at one6. If not, it's probably gonna wait til next spring. I'm expecting 5-10whp, so yes it's worth it for some people. Another member had it tuned with intake and header and got 5whp. It's a useful tuning tool and has some nice monitor functions as well.
