ive read it but i still dont see where you actually tune with it? Does it hook into a laptop or something. For the price it seems like all it does is what the SAFC does but the SAFC is much easier. Maybe im not reading it right

 

I have had friends talk about it. But they dont know much. It seems pretty cool though from what I have read.

Anyone heard of it or know anyone that has one?

 

I have heard that they are a waste of money from people who have bought them.

 

Did they install it in their car? did it give them anything? Hp? torque? faster acceleration?

 

Its the same as an AFC II i think. However they dont really show any real details of its tuning capablity. I would stay away from it.

 

It's a signal modifyer, like a crude Apex AFC tuner or a chip. It's differes from a chip, in that it runs in-line of the PCM.

 

I guess I am going to stay away from it. Thanks guys.

 

that is probably the best thing to do.

here is an explanation of what those "speed chips" do:

they essentially trick your ECU into thinking that the throttle is in a different position that it really is. For example, say you have the throttle pressed down 50%. these "chips" tell the ECU that you are pressing the throttle down to 75%(or whatever percentage it uses). this gives a false sense of more power. YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME TASK BY PRESSING THE THROTTLE DOWN FURTHER YOURSELF.
