Default VAFC affect...

how much time does the VAFC (tuned) take off of your 1/4 mile times? could you tell me before and after of 60ft. and the 1/4 then how many MPH it added at the end of the 1/4. thanks

It took .6 seconds off my time. Dont know about 60 foot time. I got rid of mine when I got Hondata. I would just recommend getting Hondata. It took more time off.

what do you have done your car? if you have at least i/h/e and get some dyno tuning you should gain some power and better mpg.

theres no way he took 0.6s off with hand tuned settings.

if so, then his first time at the track he probably didnt have a clue.. then the second time he figured out what he was doing. in other words, the driver took off the 0.6, not the VAFC.

not sure about the affect 1/4 mile wise but preludes are known to benefit greatly in the midrange with v-afc. Id have to guesstimate maybe a .1 or .2 sec difference in 1/4 time on average

Good god, quit bringing this post up 6 times per day! Look at the dynos, for the most part of the band (where you will be at the strip) you're only gaining 2-4 hp other than the VTEC transition and you should always be in VTEC after first gear. I'd say that it would knock off .1 or possibly .2 off your 1/4 time. But the thing is, there isn't THAT many people who are even THAT consistant at the track. I could tinker w/ my V-AFC and drop my time .2 seconds from my current personal best of 14.5 and I wouldn't be able to attribute that to any V-AFC setting I made.
