I have the APEXi Super AFC-II and absolutely love it, If I had a choice now, I would definitely invest in the APEXI NEO, nothing wrong with a box that can do it all...
I have mine installed in front of my NAVI DVD drive...
If you MUST mod, You must TUNE!!!

you're doing and have mens of monitoring certain parameters. If you don't know what I'm talking about, steer clear and this is not for you until you get more experience w/these cars and their related electronics.

TS alters cam timing & ignition timing over the SAFC.
The SAFC can help alter ignition timing, but most if not all wont ever try it like some have.

Seems like a good deal for the NEO.

Honestly man,
It's been so long since my Max was stock I forgot how it felt. IMO, none of the mods will give you that wow effect.
Matter of fact, the greatest increase in performance is felt everytime I remove my 12inch sub and spare from the trunk.
Instant better handling and acceleration.

So who's going to be the first to out their MAF sensor into a larger housing and tune it using one of these piggybacks as well as getting a wideband bunged into your exhaust before the cat? Any takers? You 05+ people dont even need to worry about the wb.
I'm 120% sure you guys have a better market for larger sensor housings since you have the same sensor as the Z33/V35 crowd.
I've been asking the same question for a while now, ut maybe this will finlly get answred.
What is the ID of the AEM / Fujita / Nismo MAF housings? IIRC, the EM & Fujita both have the sensor integrated into the system, smrt, yes, but what's the ID difference between them and the stock unit? This will directly affect performance and AFR. 2 items that are very important when trying to maximize HP. I read somewhere that the Nismo is 2.75" (nono: same as stock
) But am also not clear if it replaced the MAF housing, I don't think it does from the pics I've seen but 
Something to think about.
