Default VAFC II gains

I have AEM V2, Invidia V3, and berk test pipe installed on the car.First run, the car had 201.88 hp and 135.96 torque with all the mods. After, I got it tuned , it was 204.90 hp and 138.68 torque. Now, the Vtec kicks in at 5100rpm. I will scan the dyno chart soon and post it. The only big difference seems between 5k to 6k RPM. It seems like, I picked up around 10-15 hp in that range. Other than that, the diference is only a few hp throughout the all RPM range. My tuner said, he adjusted the A/F ratio as 14/1. Does these gains sound about right? I was expexting little more peak HP.

14.1:1 is lean. you might want to knock it back to 13.5 or so.

check out my before and after dyno. P.S. I have since changed my vtec back to stock, I really dont need it set lower, If i ever do any spirited driving or racing, youd better believe im over 7k

WOW big improvement!!! looks allot better!!!

the VFAC seems like it might be slow to react because you still have that curve where it slightly dips causing a gradual exponential curve from 6400-7000RPM thats the point where the A/F gets rich again then leans out to roughly 13.4-13.5 your final HP number is good... you can fine tune the mid range iron out the fuel trim to a rock steady 13.3-13.4 and your mid range acceleration power would be SWEET.

i would suggest Emanage Ultimate! this gives you timing adjustments, and both acel and decel compensation...

you will ultimatly get the same top end power but your mid range and acceleration can be tweaked and more refiend than the VFAC.

but the VFAC is a great start.

looks like you got some good gains down low and up top after 8200,

the A/F curve looks SOLID ( a tad lean) , they did a great job on making the corrections . I wonder why the gains are not higher??
