Default Apex V-AFC

What have your guys experiences been with the Apex V-AFC on a GSR with exhaust intake header system, is it worth it to lower the vtec engagement point?

simply... no... its not worth it.. honda made the motor and tuned it for the best hp it can get with its setup... r&d went into the vtec engagement point... changing it with stock cams will not do anything... or if it does... it wont be much... once u change internals is when ur motor motor is no longer stock therefore the tuning for it will be differant... hence where the v-afc comes into play.. even then... i still feel the v-afc is not worth the money

If you take the car to a dyno and have someone that knows how to use it, it can be very beneficial.

Boba- who just bought a VAFC.

Not true, I know sombody who gained 8WHP by removing 4 or 5 psi of fuel pressure. More fuel does not mean more power, not unless the car is running very lean anyway. Most of the time with I/H/E you need to remove some fuel up top.

My advice, If your goign to get cams, gears, FPR, etc then yes get the vafc now if you got a hell of a deal on it like i did, but if you are going to pay say 340 for it then you might just want to spend/save you money for cams or whatever until then...

Good eyes.. that's why I said CAN GIVE... if need be... more importantly it balances out the fuel curve for the best possible gain, whether it be a raise in lower of fuel.
