Default Best control for $?

im getting tired of running so rich all the time and was thinking of either getting hondata or a VAFC2. I know i need to dyno test either one i get, but which gives the most bang for the buck. I would still need a OBD-I ECU and harness if i get hondata but the afc seems like a easy upgrade. I did a search and really didnt come up with much (just a lot of people asking other's settings). so my question is hondata > v-afc 2 for the $$$??? isnt the only real difference is that hondata offers ignition timing control and the afc does. the afc also has the intergrated knock sensor

If I would have to do it over again, Id go Power FC.

As of now, im running kenji's ecu with a vafc.

What are you mods? If you are lightly modded and are just worried about leaning it down a tad the VAFC does that well for the price. It's good at taking away fuel, but kinda sucks at adding it.

However if you plan on doing any other mods down the road I'd just save up for Hondata. Wish I would have.

well right now i have sri and a cat back, and my jdm dc header will be here on friday. i just wanna lean it out for right now...but future mods (well relatively near future) are AEBS IM and a 70mm TB. Do you guys think the vafc2 will suite my needs? hopefully (in the far future) I can get some TODA spec Bs and upgrade the valvetrain...

OBD I, I'd imagine..

Better base fuel and spark maps as well, I believe..
