a V-AFC revelation

After hooking up my air/fuel gauge I noticed that my car was always 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in the rich zone under W.O.T. excelleration, so I turned the fuel correction to +/- 0% the whole way accross and the car was still running too rich. So as an expiement starting at 3,000 RPM's
on the wide throttle I made the fuel adjustment -2% and kept it at -2% untill I hit 7,000 RPM's where I turned it back to +/- 0%. This put the
Gauge on the first green bar and made a considerable improvement in acceleration. Im shure I will pick up some of that fuel economy I lost too. This may not work well for everyone but w/ my mods its working great. Those mods include a full custom catback, HP racing full length header, and AEM CAI + lots of small "tweeking". I hope that some of you find this helpfull.

HondaGuru is an unknown quantity at this point
unless you spent 200+ bucks on a quality AF gauge (im assuming you bought autometer or something of the sort) its going to be rather inacurate.

I used the $2000+ diagnostic comp that we have at work, and according to it my autometer gauge is almost dead on but the big comp shows that its just slightly rich at -2%.
