Default Do I really need this parts?

Hello.

I'm a pure newbie about S2000 and VTEC engines, and I own a 2008 still brand new S2000 which is stock at 10k miles. I've just learned that the car has a TODA A2 Camshaft. Does this part have any benefits for me? I also own a Apex'i VAFC2 that some friend left me for future usage. Will I need this part later?

I intend to buy Hondata Flashpro + a J's intake kit , Mugen exhaust system and not so much about performance.

Will I need these parts? I need some information please.

You can sell the VAFC2 if you are going to get a flashpro later.

Sell the apexi. Flashpro is much better and has a lot more functionality. Is the camshaft installed? Is it running right? I would think you should buy flashpro and get it tuned asap with the bigger cam in there. I don't know anything about that cam but usually you need to tune the car when you do that because the cam changes how much air and fuel are going into the engine.

The cam is installed. I think it decreases the performance slightly now. The car revs at idle about 500 rpm higher and there's annoying vibration.

Sell the VAFC is you are getting a tune with flashpro...otherwise it might be good to use the VAFC and get a professional tune. Sounds like the cams were installed but not tuned and while it's not necessarily hurting the car, it definitely isn't helping as it should without a tune.
