Default Which path is safer for 12 psi?

Should I use 450cc injectors and run the vafc hack or use 450cc injectors with vafc along with a 4:1 fmu?

Using both, you might run into some pretty rich fueling issues, especially top end. I Suggest one or the other.
Except, I just read the title again, VAFC hack is only Technically good up to 11 psi cause that's all the MAP can take.
So FMU might be better. Tuning might be a bitch with both.

you guys are ****. he didn't ask "should I get a hondata?"...
The afc hack without an fmu is better. Besides, you'd need an inline pump to run the 4:1 fmu and 450's, (that would be around 80-90psi atleast).

rx7 550's and the vafc hack... ((the 550s will allow you to run higher boost -- even greater map cut to compensate for even larger (makes sense if you understand the theory behind the hack) ))

i agree with the hack and 550 injectors, it will let you run the higher boost with the map cut. im suprised someone else uses the rx7 550's
