hey, I had a properly tuned V-AFC... before tuning I dyno'd at 192 rwhp, after tuning I laid down 204 rwhp, and my TQ. from 138.2 to 144.4 .. I would say the V-AFC is a great mod, but I had problems because of my nitrous application..but if you already got it and dont plan to mod heavy.. i'd say get it tuned.. see how you like it..

Emanage is way more flexable in tuning than a Vafc. But for a relatively stock car...a Vafc should be just fine.

no thats with minor mods, the tuner wouldnt let me dyno with the nitrous, guys over at JOtech dont like to fool around with any nitrous applications... but no.. actually i have no sheet right here in front of me now, and the #' are 195.6 rwhp and 137.8 tq. and after 3 dyno runs of tuning the v-afc, it laid down a 204 rwhp with 143.4 tq. .... so, minor mods.. exhaust..intake...nice plugs, thats the figures I got with the v-afc

What kind of dyno were you using? Mustang dynos notoriously read lower than others. Dynojet (my personal dyno of choice) is kind of in the middle, and Dynapacks read higher. I'm guessing his 192 was on a Dynojet (which is actually kind of low... my car put down 200whp on a Dynojet when it was stock). Stock S2000s generally put down 212-220ish on a Dynapack. I'm not sure what they do on Mustang dynos.

is something really wrong ? everything seems fine with the car...i tried few stock s2000, n compare to mine with all the mods, i think my car faster....the dyno guy told me that, some of other dyno machines are cheating, they give high figures just to satisfy the customer.....well i dunno...

the dyno commonly used in australia are dyno dynamic ??dynojet/mustang dyno. There is a lot of drivetrain+traction loss with this kind of machine so the power reading is lower than the dynapack.

My stock s2k ------> 127rwkw.
VAFC + AEM CAI --> around 139rwkw
VAFC + V2 --------->205.5rwkw

There is nothing wrong with your dyno 2_and
