Default What kind of gains from a VAFC?

I want to know what kind of power gains to expect from a Vafc. I was planning to get one for my B20Vtec to tune vtec and fuel curve a little. Is it worth the money?

it is a good thing to have especially if you are running a ecu that switches vtec at a low rpm, to save gas u can set it higher

gains depend on how untuned your car really is. depending on what mods you have also determines how much you will gain. no only will it increase power, but a car runs better properly tuned, i recommend it

Depends on the motor, fuel, and performance parts. In most cases, it's used to "trim the fat" on the fuel curve. Also gives the tuner the option to find the ideal crossover point through tuning.
