So the pfab actually performed like crap? Thats odd. Who else has this issue?
i guess its worked for some people . but theres alot of cases on here of people loosing power when they switch to the pfab mani . it happend to guamie . i made 270whp and 220trq at 7.5psi on my greddy manifold ona dyno jet 224x. i couldnt get passed 240whp at almost 9psi with my pfab mani


i posted my graph and people are saying that it's my tuner. Most people are suggesting to raise vtec engagement. has your tuner tried that? I'm going in for a retune soon, so i will post my results later.

my tuner has tried puting vtec everywhere and nothing helped . just whenever it would hit vtec it would die out nasty . he said it was like he had to take vtec completely off for it to run good

Sounds like your tuner has some difficulties understanding the emanage. Mine also died at vtec but my tuner removed the dip and got it just perfect. This is a common issue with 80% of the tuners out there. Try a different one with more emanage experience. You should make alot more hp...

Im running the berk 3" headerback with HFC, stock greddy kit on 8PSI boost, EU octane 98 fuel and 297 HP ( FLYWHEEL POWER )

Im going back soon to tune it on 10/11 PSI.. hoping to achieve around 350HP flywheel power what would be around 300WHP ( dunno if 2-3 extra psi will achieve that.. )

p.s. you want to engage vtec at around 7000RPM on this kit. thats the sweet spot to get the full use of the non vtec cams and have a smooth lineair power curve.. ( at the end, the tuner will ALWAYS be the most important factor )

You should try removing that HFC and put a test pipe . That HFC is robbing some power

I dont think the hfc should rob a handfull of ponies. Can you verify that or do you assume that? I was thinking of bryan from berk having me make a new midsection with testpipe and an extra resonator... On my 3" headerback

I think that my 297 flywheel hp at <8 psi is still quite good..

IME the HFC only robs a small amount of power compared to a decat.
