Default cheap vafc2

say $150.. + boomslang harness $140. are the minimal power gains worth $300 (i just have intake/testpipe/tanabe catback-that-doesn't-make-any-hp)... and does anyone have like.. 'preset' adjustments so i don't hv to dyno tune thing thing?

i dunno... how do i convince the gf i won't f**k up the S like i did when i turbo'd the miata...

I'm with E-Brake on this one.

Did you want to trade your vafc for a portable satalite radio receiver by chance?

You don't have to tune it on the dyno. I street tune my car. From what I've been hearing and reading, the VAFC actually gives some decent gains...probably right in line of the usual $:hp ratio of our cars. Honda, not suprisingly, was very conservative in tuning the S2000. You'll see a ton more gains from a standalone/piggyback that allows for timing adjustments, though.
