V-AFC II vs. VENOM 400 HELP!!!

Now is it possible to run both of these at the same time. Someone told me that the V-AFC II goes before the stock ECU and the VENOM 400 goes behind the stock ECU (piggybacked). I like the features on both. I personally want the VTEC controller in the APEX'i model and the transmission fix for automatics in the VENOM. Please help. If not possible...Please advise me which route I should go.

SETUP:
AEM V2 CAI
DC Sports 4-1 Ceramic Headers
AEM Tru-Power UnderDrive pullies
Greddy EVO II Exhaust
Denso Iriduim Plugs

Need advise on setup tooo!!!
I NEED MORE HP - trying to prep engine for FI, but still under warranty until October.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Yes people are running both. However, it is strongly advised not to use venom. It plays with timing and fuel without regard to your specific car's tuning requirements. vafcII can be tuned on the dyno, but it doesn't work on 03-04 civic ecus.

supposedly they all work on all models 01 up but they but from what we were thinking about was that the ecu over time rejects the settings thqat the vafc2 puts out on the 03-04 models cause it uses a newer smarter ecu

the vafc2 works on ur car... especially if ur doing a head swap cause it runs the vtec... just its speculation of weither or not the 03 ecus will correct the fuel setup....

but doing the head swap, you might need to adjust fuel...so vafcII wouldnt be the all sufficient answer to the swap...
