SAFC vs. SAFCII

I'm getting the SAFC for a good price. Do you guys think the SAFCII would be worth the $150 extra to buy instead?

I know the SAFC has 8 points and the SAFCII has 12 points plus some other cool features. I want a basic tune that will free up some power and at the same time smooth out my powerband.

thanks alot

The II is a step up but they are both pretty rudamentary tunning devices. I just like the II because you can get it something besides that dumb@ss blue.

Thanks alot for the offers on the AFC guys! Definately alot cheaper than Ebay.

I already purchased an SAFC though. I'll probably hook it up this weekend and then get it dynotuned in a few weeks.

Well Dynolab will hook me up for probably $100-120 for an hour. They don't use the "tailpipe sniffer like everyone else", at least that's what they told me. I'm not really sure if their way of tuning is so much more superior or not!

let me know how that turns out, If I cant get everything ready for tunerfest I'll need a place to tune. I definately dont want to street tune.

Exclamation New Neo

Anyone know if the NEO or older products work well with an 6th Gen 05 SE automatic?

I heard that changing the maps or VAFC or SAFC is useless and possible even bad for the motor if you don't adjust the timing too?

Thanks to anyone that helps!

Well, depending on what A/F you end up with... it could be bad...
