I sure hope it does what is promised, a 5-10% gain would be well worth it, even more so if it's as easy to install as it seems. Please keep us up Aaron and S2speed, I for one appreciate you testing for all of us, hope it's everything promised and more.

Actually, this company is spot-on. Our car only runs rich at WOT, it is a safety feature only, at low revs the car is TOO conservative and very lean for the LEV standard. The big deal here is that we need to be able to lean the car out at WOT to extract maximum HP (not LEV standards or gas mileage)...but it is way dangerous, that's why manufacturers don't do it...only tuners do.

Only if you don't run High Octane (93) gas. Obviously you don't want to lean it out too much, but leaning it out shouldn't hurt - as long as you run good gas. Prevents detonation.

I had a Venom 400 on my old DA Integra. The differences were slight but noticeable enough. It wasn't worth the money though IMO.

I'm interested in how this box would work with my SC. It seems that more fuel would be a good match for the more air already given. Any experiences? I'm desperately needing to figure out what to get my wife for Christmas. This box for the S would be great wouldn't it?

The question is, if is not programmable, is there just one fuel map.. and if so, what happens if you have a SC?? Would'nt the map differ from a non-SC car? At least with the VAFC you can adjust your fuel points. I am a little skeptical about this product. But then again, I may be talking out my ass, maybe some of our more experienced members can step up.
