What would your last mod be?

Ok I am not doing cams, flywheel, T/C, or S/C. These are the last two performance mods I am contemplating--So should I go with the S-AFCII, Technosquare ECU or both? If both, which do I install first and how much does it cost to tune then S-AFCII?

ECU ECU ECU. The AFC will cost a lot in dyno time and tuning.

Get the L-Spec TS ECU first if:

1. You're tired of hitting the 149mph speed limiter
2. You're tired of hitting the 6600rpm rev limiter



Get the full TS ECU if:
1. You live close enough to TS to get specific software written for your car.
2. You have the extra money to spare
3. You'll never change another mod on your car unless you take it back to them for more new software


Get the SAFC-II if:
1. You like to have the flexibility of adjusting your own A/F ratio each time you make a change to your car.
2. You like the extra display

Get the Greddy eManage if:
1. You want to have even more flexibility of tuning your car.

S-AFC2 and Emanage are both piggy backs, they are used for fine tuning the car with wideband 02 sensor and a dyno. Emanage has the ability to compensate for all kinds of diff MAFs when repleacing the stock MAF with something larger- in case of a turbocharger or extreme supercharging- where power is above 350HP ( max MAF voltage is attained and MAF is no longer usable- aka BOOM). S-AFC2 can compensate for larger injectors, just like Emanage is, but its limited to MAF calibrations. Emanage can controll ignition timing also, S-AFC can't do that. So you can back off ignition a little bit if the car starts to detonate under boost- or in 3.5Ls case when they like to ping under light throttle cruise. You can gain some substantial power with eighter one, but it all depends on the mods you have, are you turbo ? SC ? nos ? NA ?. If you are hardcore bout tuning, I would go TS L-Spec and do my own tuning with Emanage.

- for me there is no last mod, every car I ever owned was a never ending money pit, but my next big mod makes boost Small mod is under the pass seat, with some wires, and laptop on the pass seat to controll it all- cheers.

And put up with grinding 6spd trannies ehh ? My mod is to get a used NSX or a R32 GT-R. But for now boost will do fine.
