I would not compare one car settings to another even if stock standard. Your setttings certainly look less aggressive than mine but that doesn't mean a thing.
Just check your AF ratio once in a while (ie dyno day) to see if there is any change.
Congratulation AusS2000. I told you, your car need more tuning
!!! Is it true that it's quite difficult to take or reduce fuel with the emanage?

Fuel reduction is done exactly the same way as it is with the VAFC. It just modifies the MAP sensor signal. Not ideal, but then there are very few areas where you need to reduce fuel on an SC'd S2000 without the Comptech/Vortech FPR.

You can, but you don't know what your AFR is.
I can suggest 0. Personally I'd try -3 and listen for pinging by starting off in 3rd, or with some handbrake on (load) but I'm not suggesting you do this.

Without being able to see your Air/Fuel Ratio you are in the dark when it comes to tuning and are risking engine damage (hearing pinging is a little late)..I'd just take it to someone who (hopefully) knows what they're doing!

chuckie, tuning the VAFC without the dyno or with a dyno that could not printout the AF ratio always leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Leaning out fuel doesn't automatically means power. Your intake and exhaust may actually improve airflow aldready that the air-fuel ratio is not rich anymore and thus doesn't need the fuel reduction as much as mine old setup.
It's best to clean the AEM airfilter every 3-6 months and redyno the car every 6-12 months to maintain the best result. Play around your vtec on settings while you are at it as well. I found 5800 with 5% correction worked best for me.
Good luck
