V-AFC on '97 Accord EX 4-door 5-SPD

I'd like to hear some V-AFC stories..

how hard was it to install ? can any idiot program the fuel maps ? do you NEED to dyno tune it or can some power be extractred without ?
Is it worth getting for an Accord VTEC 5-spd with only minor bolt ons (I/H/E, FPR) ?
What kind of power increases can one expect ?

3500 rpm... yeah, it seems low, but two separate dyno runs proved it was the best x-over point... and i haven't had any problems with the oil pump... to give you an idea how much power there is to be gained, by lowering the VTEC threshold, i got 17whp at 4000rpm... and 17ft-lb torque... not too shabby...

took about 2 hours... and yes i still have the F22B1 motor... a VAFC is essential as it increases performance and efficiency (better fuel economy)...
