Default VAFC II or no? Worth it?

I have a friend that wants to sell me his VAFC II black Edition. I was curious as to how much more power with a tune I can get or if Honda already set the VTEC to a very mint spot on our cars, I have a 2000 S2000, input would be great. I did use the search button to, but a lot of for sale adds came up.

Thanks,
Eathen

Well, you should ask this in the NA forum. Theres a huge thread in the NA forum about the VAFC.

To understand the basic, VAFC II only leans out the mixture. As far as making power, it depends on your mods. Generally speaking 00-01s, are a tad bit richer in the higher rpms compared to other MYs. That is where most power is made.

For setting VTEC engagment point, most people have it set between 4900-5200 rpms.

definitely worth it for an 00-01, if you plan on ever going standalone, then it's probably better to save your money for now
