Default can the VAFC II do the same things Uberdata does?

I was wondering whether or not i should get the VAFCII or chip my ecu and run uberdata. If someone can tell me pro's and con's or their personal experiences.. or features that are different between the two systems.. which one is more reliable.. and can i tune with both equally.. any input would be great. thanks!

The two aren't even remotely the same.

If searching doesn't really yield a satisfactory answer, then just go with the VAFC (Uberdata is far more powerful).

AFC screws up ignition timing as it modifies fuel.

Uberdata is a standalone, and can make the Honda ECU do whatever you program it to.

Which sounds better to you?

Back order?? The program is a free download and the chipping supplies you can get from any radio shack. You can get the eprom burner off ebay for less than $60 and you can find the chips there too for just a few bucks a peice.

Uberdata is a little complex at first but you can catch on really quick. Just visit the uberdata forum and run searches for FAQ. Thats what I did and the more I read the more liked Uberdata. I looked at the VAFC first and have decided its almost worthless for serious tuning. It just looks pretty
