Default vafc on my setup, will it help?

im just curious if a vafc would help me out at all.
heres my current setup:

b16a
skunk 2 Cat-Back Exhaust
skunk 2 stage 2 cams (untuned)
skunk 2 valves and springs
jasma 4-2-1 header
msd ignition w/ blaster 3 coil and launch control
ctr intake manifold
ctr throttle body
short ram intake
buddy club cam gears
act 4 puck unsprung clutch
p28 chipped w/ skunk 2 program

the car is not tuned, and its running really rich right now.

would getting a vafc help at all?

Yes..... only a dyno would tell though but it would help you dramatically.

u use a vafc to tune your car on a dyno, u cant tune it unless u have an air fuel control, u can purchase other air fuel items. but u need somthing like that.

With all that gear in your car you need something but if you want to truely get the most out of it all I would go with a Hondata or Uberdata. VAFC is the MINIMUM you'll need to get it to work properly, but if you want to make real power go with a setup like I mentioned, you won't regret it.

how could you have all that crap on your car and not have an engine management system? or at least a piggyback. of course the vafc will help

The vafc2 is more tunable(50 RPM increments vs the 100 RPM in the original VAFC)

you can tune accel and decel maps for both hi and low cam

Either way get one and get it tuned, or else your motor is just going to waste.


EDIT: i got my vafc2 from inlinefour.com holiday special 304$ shipped, I dont know if the prices have changed since last year.
