Default E-Manage for N/A ? (vs. AFC vs. Uberdata ?)

Ok, I searched, read a bunch of posts on it... most of them were for FI, so I didn't get the most accurate opinions.

I currently own a VAFC, yet to be installed. I wanted Hondata, but have no local dealer and live on an island. So I would need to shell at least $1200+ for the system...THEN... pay for tuning by someone not familiar w/ the system... fuuug that.

The next available option with a liveable price:

Greddy E-Manage. (I'm still reading up on UberData)

But I haven't seen many e-manage All-Motor apps on the board (at least not in the 3 pages of search results). mostly turbo apps. I know some people must be using it, so my question...

How's the e-manage in comparison to the VAFC for straight motor apps ? I know the emanage has ignition control to boot, but I'm also debating price here. I paid $150 for my AFC and tuning will cost me about $150 for 12 passes where I am. That's $300 invested (with hardware) and I'm done (for now).

Otherwise.. the emanage is more $ for the parts... but I have not read many instances of good results with N/A apps. I'd love to get ignition control for better power, but if I gotta shell out another $300-$400 for a couple horses...is it worth it or will the AFC do the job ?

Can anyone help on this ?

The big diff. between the VAFC and Greddy E-manage is the the e-manage has the 20x20 grid map for fuel and timing where the VAFC only has 8 tuning points.
You will see better drivibility and increased fuel milage with the Greddy. But that is just my oppinion. I have a Apex-i Power Fc for my NA and I think that its the best investment I did in a long time. 98ctr.

Is the emanage 16x16 or 20x20 ?

Anyone else ?

I'm also reading about uberdata... but it's all about boost.
