I do have a chance to get a good tuner.
So the Apexi VAFC II is the most $$/hp ?

Who's us? Are you just repeating yourself to try to get more people to buy VAFCs from your company or something?
If not, sorry. And yes, Greddy Emanage Ultimate is much better, in addition to everything the VAFC does you can adjust timing, and you can tune much more specifically than you can with the VAFC; since you can only lean out the A/F ratio and move VTEC engagement, you run the risk of hurting your engine by leaning out the curve too much in search of more power -- most tuners already know this so they don't go too far with it, but I've seen some crazy stuff with VAFCs before, and it sounds like you want to tune it yourself, in which case I would be very careful about getting a VAFC as an inexperienced tuner such as yourself could possibly blow the engine by leaning out the A/F curve too much. Good luck.

Thanks for the extra advice, I am still searching for a part number on the S2k version.

No, lol I dont get anything for people ordering things, and we dont make anything for selling AFC s But I do wanna be sure if I am gonna spend my hard earn money that I make it worth it. I was a S2ker way before I worked at a performance place. My loyalty resides with the s2ki community, not the pocket of the people I work for.
