which engine? a Z6?

Literally speaking, a properly tuned P28 will run circles around any VAFC.

a crap ebay chip with a VAFC behind it is not the worst thing you could do, but it far from good.

none of these comments are meant negatively, simply meant constructively.
A VAFC fools the ECU into thinking that certain sensors are in different locations to change fueling. The problem, this also changes the ignition setting. Which can cause EGTs to rise quickly, which melts parts just as fast.

changing the VTEC point when ever you want can be dangerous if the maps are not tuned well.
