engine management
Ive been told that if im going to stay NA that an AEM ems is overkill.... what do you guys think? i know i could go with a vafc and save a lot of money, but will it be able to extract as much power?

Not really over kill. it will make your car run soooooooooooooooo Much better, get better gas miliage and you will get about 10whp. plus like what he just said it will be best to have incase you want to upgrade later. Overall your car will have better gains

Definately not overkill and WELL worth the money. Im using the VAFC2 just cause im cheap. I did gain about 8whp with the tune at WOT, but you cant tune mid-range with the vafc2 unless you reset your ecu every week.
Ive seen gains up to 20whp on an n/a s2k with full bolt ons. And if you ever do decide to go FI youll already have the engine management part down.
Check out the greddy e-manage ultimate. Good balance, fairly cheap and still gets pretty good gains.

and of course there IS a way to adjust vtec with the aem right? how much does a tune usually run? i know i asked my local shop once about a tune for my 240 if i were to get an aem and they said around $500 if i remember correctly
