version, why do you recommend the vafc instead?

yeah i didnt hold back on other parts, but is the emanage that superior over the vafc?
version favors it because hat is what he has, although I believe he is also going to be purchasing an e-manage.

As far as the benefts of an e-manage over the vafc...Silver9K pretty much summed it up

i got the j's cause its purdy, and i dont wanna leave big empty spaces under the hood (aem/hks). and it should clear my asm 4 point.

i guess ill go with the emanage, but that wont be until march probably. no reason to get down and dirty now since i feel a harsh winter coming (it hit below 50 degrees here in philly last night.. WTF MATE?? )

wow, lots of people are bailing....I'm bound and determined to crush that mark. My goal is 250 rwhp with the stock bottom end
If I'm at 213 now (guess with the addition of the test pipe over the 208 I was at with the AEM tune)...
These ITB's I'm about to win should get me to 228 (+15), megan header to 232 (+4), comptech exhaust to 235 (+3) flywheel to 238 (+3), crank vents and ricks pulleys to 240 (+2), crower cams and aem cam gears to 250 (+10), and a spoon head gasket for good measure should get me to 255

...it doesn't seem impossible with this plan....

I am trying to decide what to do next: ACT PP/Comptech flywheel, Spoon front rotors/calipers, or Mugen rear wing.
i am taking a break from the 230 race to work on the looks department. want to get some carbon fiber F1 mirrors, tint job, maybe a tube sub just to help out the Honda sound system. for now if i want to kick some ass, its only a 70mm bolt on away.

FYI bolt-ons don't really work like that ... a lot of those parts are going to be making power at different points in the powerband, they will not all make power at the same point. So while you will be gaining 4 here, 2 there, overall you aren't going to be hitting +4, +2 at your peak. Good luck to you, but my guess is that you would have to factor in a better header than the Megan.
