Default VAFC gains

For all you VAFC(1 or 2) owners out there, what's your max gain?

Model Year-00
Milage- 65,000
Mods are i/h/e/straight pipe, dyno tuned the VAFC and got a solid +14hp...

Also tune was just to lean it out, no vtec adjustments...

What did you gain?

aem ems is da shiznit. well that and a solid tune. you will not be disapointed. but great gains with just the vafc. your car suffered from the most conservative tune of all oem honda ecu's. now lower vtec and really open that shit up!!!!!

215whp on a DynoDynamics that is calibrated about 5% lower than an average DynoJet...so that would be about 225-226whp on a DynoJet.

And for each slap add 1 dollar to the price difference
