Try JE Import Performance ---> JE website

I'm pretty sure James Evans can do that. He is very knowledgable.

I've always seen at least one S2000 in his shop every time I have been there.

Tell James Mani the BMW E36 racer sent you.

Vafc is ok, because the stock ecu will readjust itself eventually and the tune will be worthless. You should get an emanage ultimate for an NA tune.

Isn't that only true of the part throttle maps? I don't believe the ECU uses O2 feedback (open loop) during full throttle so the VFAC's high throttle settings should work ok. Another benefit of the VFAC is you can lower the VTEC crosover point.

because it's terrible.

The ECU will override the VAFC in partial throttle conditions, also the VAFC is known to cause a CEL on some cars from time to time.

I was one of the unlucky ones that got a CEL occasionally when the ECU detected the early VTEC transition.
