Default Re: tuning apexi vtec controller

not much. 5hp perhaps 10hp tops. As much as I LOVE the apexi controller, the problem with it was the fact that whenever you made changes using the stock ECU, the ECU will not like the timing changes and try and retard timing to adjust it back to stock. That was the main reason why its no longer used as a tuning tool for power.
