The 4.77s will still allow you to hit close to 140 MPH ... at redline in 6th.

I think I'll have to pass on those then!!! hehe. I guess the 4.44's would be a better choice for me.

Off the Topic: With the Apex'i VAFC and a SC or a Nitrous Kit, will I be able to operate both systems with it and make some additional HP, or The VAFC won't work well with these mods? I just want to make sure that I'm going in the right direction, and you guys seem to be very knowledgeable with the VAFC.


Thanks,
Chris C.

The VAFC is very effective at tuning the fuel, which is always a plus for what you want to do. SC applications definately require enrichening the fuel mixture and the VAFC will get you there. It's main drawback is that it cannot do anything outside of fuel tuning. The EMS picks up where the VAFC leaves off. Of course, the EMS is extremely complicated and you can destroy your motor so quickly with it. I would get a VAFC and call it a day.

Hams2000, so it will also work well with a Nitrous Kit? You know controlling the fuel and Air ratio.

yes it will work in the capacity that you will have the ability to enrichen the fuel mixture.

If you set the V-AFC to increase the fuel at certain RPM points to give a safe AFR for your nitrous setup, that same adjustment would be applied all the time. If you drove around with the V-AFC setup like that, it would be way too rich (when nitrous was not in use). Unless I'm completely off, you would loose a ton of power during normal driving, and you would probably foul out your plugs in a few days.
