THIS...........

Does anyone have this ? Or not if there is anything Good/ Bad about the unit ? I was told my a few people that you cant go wrong . I see its a 12 point controller so you can do adjustments every 200 incraments .

Let me know what you think .

You've never heard of the S-AFC? With over 1k posts, figured you would...

If not, do a search for S-AFC. Should find more than enough info...

FWIW, I have it, I like it, works great. Car needs to be dyno tuned w/ a wideband O2.

Hey man do you have the 8 band or the 12 ?

I wonder can i hook it up and just shut it off until i get to the place to get it Dynoed ? And what do you think the cost would be to have them dyno it and tune it for ya ? And when its done and tuned im guessing youll never have to mess with it again unless you do another mod .

I used to have the SAFC-1 - now I have the SAFC-2.

With the SAFC-1 I gained about 5hp/5tq, "butt tuning" on a dyno. I didn't have A/f capabilities (not hooked up to a wideband o2) and this was a tread dyno. I didn't maximize use of the hi or the lo - i just wanted it out of the lean condition I had in my SVT. I did about 8 runs on this kind of dyno and settled for those settings. (I paid about $100 for that, but that was a hook up)

I bought the SAFC-2 mostly cuz it looks cooler. But it does have some advatages over SAFC-1. SEARCH here and on the net - there's an abundace of info on it.

I am dynotuning my SVT on a chassis-dyno come May. Looking for 185-190fwhp on a 2.5L

With the SAFC-1 I figured out about 2 different settings I was happy with - one gave more torque and the other more hp. With the SAFC-2 I can switch inbetween programs. Stazi has my SAFC2 right now - he's figuring out the new wiring (it's essentially the same except for some new goodies).

You cannot turn the SAFC off as it is now essentailly part of the ECU.

On cost - a nice chassis-dyno probably would run about $100+/hr plus install of the bung for the wideband o2. Tuning generally takes anywhere from 1hr to 3hrs.

SWEET man , thanks for the info.
