Do both. Once you do any substantial fuel adjustments on the V-AFC, your OBD2 ecu will not be too happy. If you get camgears and dyno tune them, it will be miserable, especially in warm weather.

While the camgears create more problems, big fuel adjustments will still usher in a fair amount of CELs. Trust me, I've been throught the whole thing soup-to-nuts. OBD1 conversion is the only thing that made everything work together happily.

Oh yeah, don't even bother with the V-AFC unless you dyno tune it on a dyno that also has wideband air/fuel tuning. Otherwise, it's useless.

Finally, for OBD1 conversions, etc..., Look up the user on honda-tech named kenji. His stuff is great and he's a great seller.
