A HI Flo Cat would help if you don't have one...

a Hi Flo Cat sounds good, how about the Apexi V-AFC I can lower my VTEC points and A/F Ratios correct, not that I would want to lean the A/F much if any..
Anyone have experience HP wise with lowering VTEC points? difference?

VAFC is 300 new and then add at LEAST 100-150 for tuning. For 200.... save it until you have more.

Got enough traction? New tires can always do you some good.
