Sorry for your mishap with your body panels....

Last sentence is not clear. Do you give the kit a 2 out of 10? What are you rating , the install or the outcome?



or are you giving it 2 thumbs up?

Do you feel like drilling?

Anybody dyno tuned with the VAFC yet. I am going today with my recalibrated 12:1 (comes 10:1 I believe) FMU, a map blocker, removed vortech map controller and a VAFC to try and get some tuning to over 300HP. I will post results tonight.

M777erlin did his car but doesn't have a dynojet plot for reference.

I got my clutch and flywheel to install on the 7th of Sept. SOS gauge pod and gauges=VAFC should be sometime early September and then I go to tune.

Goal for tuning will be to get over 300hp at the wheels with a ~5300 VTEC engagement point and a flatter air fuel curve that is in the 12s.

Will post info when I have it.
