do a search! lol.. j/k

it plays with the ECU and adds more air into your fuel or something like that so your car runs richer... supposed to give power, but i wouldnt want it unless i have a blower

Hummm... I thought it tricked the MAP sensor to thinking there was more air, so the ECU will feed more fuel... I could be wrong. This would be helpful for any mod, not just blower.

.. MAP or MAF? thing is you'd have to reset it after 30 or so start ups, cause your ECU will learn it and correct it.

Everything, oh Grand Master Sien Sai! How about the winning Lotto numbers? That's a good start
All kidding aside... what does this Super AFC thing really do? If I get this, will it function as the AF mixture meter also, so I don't need the gauge? Thx! I knew Kev would come through!

The S-AFC will modify the mass air flow signal going to your ECU. This will allow you to lean or enrich the fuel to your desired a/f ratio. It won't work too well with N/A cars, but since you have rice juice, it should help in your fine tuning process.

You still would need an a/f gauge or EGT gauge. The AFC can't display a/f.

I know the Fields has the 3 setting gig, but do those settings remap like the AFC after you switch from one to the other? Or does it reset every time you switch so the ecu doesn't learn the settings?
thanks

Is there a MOD that will increase my mileage from 227 full tank to 375 miles on a fulltank.
