They both do the same thing, but the newer version does offer a tad bit more adjustability. Personally, I'd buy the older version because it's pretty cheap since the newer one came out, and the difference in tuning isn't significant enough to warrant the larger price tag IMO.

Get the newer 1 it has 2 different stages, maening 1 you can have all your settings set for every day driving, then at the touch of a button you can have it al switch over to drag mode.

So does the first one, it's called lo throttle, high throttle. You can set the percentage wherever you'd like.

He wasnt talking about that. The new one has like 2 brains. One for daily driving, lo throttle and high throttle. And then one you could set for racing where you could change lo throttle and high throttle again. Or have one for 30mpg and one for 15mpg or whatever. But its not the same as VAFC1 Thats the only reason i was goign to go with VAFC2
