Default I loved mine

I installed the s-afc in my 93 300 and it made quite an improvement. No problems were noted except for an increase in fuel usage

Because on my car ('97, OBDII) the SAFC causes my car to do timing retard. I have to reset the ECU every so often to get the car running right again. It would be nice to get something that would do timing aswell. Not so long ago Greddy came out with Emanage which does all that, plus boost control and vtech control. Well, I don't have vtech, but boost controller will come usefull next year. Emanage is not too far off in price of the SAFC. True, it doesn't have the cool display which is pretty much useless when you drive around, lol. I have no doubt SAFC is a great thing and it works, after all, I don't think I would be able to smoke that S4 on the highway from like 60 mph. Just too bad when we got off the highway he just blew me away from the stoplight. Anyways... get it. See how it turns out for you. I just think for myself, if I was going to do something like this again, I would get the Emanage.

LOL! It's a good product... but Emanage is better. You see, you will have to spend lots of more money if you want to do timing, boost control, etc etc. So, I would recommend the emanage. Bean, you out there? Care to give extended explanation?
