SAFC is for turbo cars, VAFC is for honda's with vtec. They can both change air\fuel ratios however only VAFC can alter VTEC. SAFC also has a broader range of editing air\fuel on the rpm scale.

actually it is worth it if its an 01, since the00- 01 ecu runs rich from the factory, guys on s2ki have made over 15wrhp with a tuned safc or vafc

Compared to an I/H/E combo, it's not that expensive.

AVCR is for turbo cars. SAFC is the same as teh VAFC without the vtec controller. gains might depend on what other mods you have and dyno tuning is neccessary for optimum tuning.

compared to a 2,000$ exhaust which only gives 8hp, or 1500$ intakes that give under 10hp...

You guys have to keep in mind the cars that he drives. Supras. Each mod gives him more bang for his buck than anyone could dream for with an S2000. The Accord he has is just his winter car...

Hell, the VAFC is a great way to go. I've never had one take more than an hour on any Honda, so for $150 tuning time, $250 (used) and an hour install, 15whp doesn't sound too bad. All prices in CDN dollars.
