I'll have to get back to you guys on the settings, haven't had time to go out and write all of them down.

No, I don't feel any significant power increases. 14HP is roughly 5% increase, so you shouldn't feel it IMO.

We Dyno'd with VTEC from 5,800 RPM - 6,200 RPM. Lowering it killed the torque and HP. Raising it produced the exact same curve, except for the 200 RPM where it had delayed VTEC. 6,000 seemed to be the smoothest place.

Besides the V-AFC, what other electronics can be shown in you picture. Specifically, what the green thingie? Also can you shed some more light on your experience with mounting the V-AFC unit. Thanks!!

That is the LCD display for the Neo MP3 player. Do a search for "Neo MP3" and you'll find some discussion on this board.

As for mounting the VAFC, I just slid the mounting bracket under the center console's plastic around the shifter. The wire runs under the stereo piece, under the carpet on the driver's well, then behind the pedals and to the ECU.

This picture may better show how the VAFC is mounted:

Gratz wes.. broke the 300 whp mark and you can honestly say, 300 horse to the wheels. You know everyone always exaggerates the horse to the nearest 100 or so. I always just say 400 at the motor even though it's closer to 330.

Damn bro. My settings seem to work for me. I recently ran a 13.94 @101. the only other S2000 ran a 14.3 @97. I know all about the whole driver thing but I seem to be running better times than most people on this board with stock S2000's. I have made a few adjustments since I've done a little more research but nothing really drastic. VTEC is still at 5900 yada yada yada. All I did was smooth out the dips in the Air/fuel ratio and move a few of the of the nep points. I took some of your guys advise did some research and some changes were made but not many. I still stand by the fact that 213 rwhp sounds damn good to me. I will be making some more dyno runs soon but I really don't think much will change. Thanx for the help you gave ma in the last post about my setting and take it easy with the "wack" stuff alright.

Sorry VTECnology, perhaps "wack" was a bad choice of word
But I do remember a consensus (that included yourself) that your settings may have inadvertently gotten changed at some point after the dyno tuning and you were going to look into it further (your settings had strange discontinuities).
Did you get a chance to confirm your settings?

13.94 is damn fast so more power to you

Another point I didn't bring up is that this thread was looking for V-AFC settings for a Comptech SC'd car which better be turning faster times than high 13's

At least I didn't say "Totally Wack" !

I agree that this post was not really intended for me. if it's any consolation my settings are quite a bit different now. I haven't dyno tuned it yet with these settings. I kind of used my old "settings" as a guideline and smoothed everything out and changed a bunch of points around. I really don't feel like posting them all right now but I will eventually. I guess whatever happened to my V-AFC that one day must have "wacked" it out a little. I did quite a bit of research on it so now I kind of understand how it works. I think you'd agree with my new settings a little more. BTW I did a back to back run with my "old" settings and my new ones. The best I could muster with the old ones was a 14.11 and you can see that my new settings are an improvement over that. I do think that the V-AFC was tuned properly when installed because the car has run a 13.87 in warmer weather than I ran in the other day. I don't know what happened that day it went hay wire. I thank you for the information you posted in that previous thread as it gave me a starting point to research the damn thing. I was just a little thrown off by the "wack" thing.
