VAFC is the best one out there for the money. $300 and you have a lot of tunning options, for a daily driver/weekend racer its a good deal in my book.

VAFC - Better unit IMHO, but hard to tune and big.

SFC - Cheaper, easier to tune, smaller in size.

my VAFC did nothing but chage the vtec from 4400 to 5000 rpm. Unless you have some seious mods you will not be using any of the other options. I wish I would not bought the darn thing!

Kind of off topic, but for you guys who run more than 11:1 compression on the street, what are your fuel systems like? Do you use bigger injectors, fuel pump, FPR setting, ignition timing, 91 pump gas?? Please let me know. I have some pinging problems with 11.3:1 CR Endyn RW in my LSVTEC. Currently I am at around 10-12 degrees of timing to avoid detonation, FPR set at 48 psi, stock pump, RC cleaned and balanced injectors. I want to be able to run at 16 deg of timing on 91. Any suggestions?? TIA.

If you have a Fields already, it's time to graduate up to a Apexi VAFC. The Fields more simple but everyone raves about the Apexi piece and what it can do. I still don't know what route I'll end up going.

I got the Apex-i becasue it seemed to have more flexibility as a tunning device and it use the stock fuel maps to base it's adjustments of off. Other than that, I think it looks better than the Fields.
