Default AEM FIC tuning tips?

Hey guys, so we are about to start tuning my s2k with the AEM FIC unit and was wondering if any of you who have used this can give me some advise or tips before we start to tune the car. We are using a GT28, and only shooting for 280-300whp. Will i need bigger injectors or will the oem be fine? Also what stle crank sensor would my MY2000 s2k have? and does it have 1 or 2 cam sensors?
Thanks a bunch!
Trent.

fic doesn't run smooth with the s2000, more so with the ap1 ecu. I fuel washed a motor with one. Expensive learning curve. Your better off going with an experienced E-mange tuner or just go with the EMS, seriously.

Was it the FIC that fuel-washed your motor, or was it the shitty tuner?

It was a combination of the both. But ultimately was the unit. Too many partial throttle hiccups, it doesn't mesh with the sensitive nature of the ecu closed loop operation. The motor damage could have been prevented if the tuner was decent enough to spot the red flags.

I believe years 00-05 have 2 cams sensors and when they switched to DBW in 06 and up, they changed to 1 cam sensor.

Ditch Fic and get emanage ult or Aem Ems if you really want a great running car. Get some bigger injectors for sure
