Dude you can't go by other peoples settings to be honest.. looking at other will just give you a basic idea. When I first turboed my ZC I went by other peoples settings and it ran like crap. it turned out what I finally had it set at when it was running right was no where close to where other had. Everymotor is different and there's alot of variables on what makes a motor run good and where your located does have to do with one of them. A guy in colorado will be different then a guy in Maryland cause of thr air and climate. Trust me and spend some Dyno Time if thats what you really want some good Numebrs. I was using a S-AFC on my Turbo ZC and it was a night and day difference from when I tuned it on the street then when I pent some hella cash and got dyno time. IT ran smooth and transition into boost was almost stock like. Unfortunetly I dropped a valve abd blew the motor and know have a LS/VTec. Also What VTec controller are you using and plan on using. I have used Field and APexi's and think that even though the APex is more exspensive it's worth plus acouple I know have had problems with their fields. I have had none with Apexi's. But really alot of people don't know or relize how dyno time can really help it's the only REAL way you know it's maing a difference. Just caus eit sounds different or feels different on the street by tuning it on the street doesn't mean your getting the best.
