Should I get the Apexi S-AFC?

I have a 95 5spd, SC, 370cc injectors, 2.87" pulley, CAI.

I bought the car from a previous owner and he told me the ECU was reprogrammed by JWT to accomodate the larger injectors, raise the rev limited to 7200-7300. I would guess that the fuel ratios would have been altered performance wise with the upgrade. Also, my SC setup does not use an FMU at all, it is nowhere in sight, Jay25 checked it out. So the question is, will the S-AFC have any benefit if it seems to me that JWT ECU is already doin something???

P.S. I am getting an MEVI in 2 weeks.

You should dyno tune your car 1st to see what numbers you get.. Then decide..

Group deal on the Apex'i S-AFC for $266 shipped. Might be worth getting sooner or later.

thanks guys, but I was technologically wondering wether it would have a benefit or would it be a waste of money?

Probably not worth it. Your AFR should be set ok. JWT has weak ignition timing curves in SC Maxima ECU's, but their is nothing you can do about it unless you ditch the JWT ECU. I bet you will be happy with the MEVI, so focus on just that for now.
