yeah, i know he's quite the expert with GEMU - the VAFC fit my current budget, though. Eventually I'll go Ultimate or AEM, but in the meantime I'll have to settle for the WOT VAFC tune.

500 used for a ECU + harness is about the street price. For a couple hundred more, you get 3x that much in features that Giles knows what to do with.

Regardless... 2003 run rich so it's not as dangerous as a late model AP2 per say to run those mods.

believe me, i realize ultimate is a superior EMS, and I'm aware of the Apexi's limitations. The price was right ($200 with boomslang harness), so I scooped it up. Eventually I'll sell it and move up to the Greddy unit, but for now it will do.

I was under the impression that 02-03 AP1s didn't run quite as super-rich as the earlier 00-01 models did, which is what kinda raised a red flag for me.

YOU"RE GONNA BLOW UP!!!




You'll be fine, man. Yours runs a little leaner from the factory than mine, but I'm still in the low-12s @ WOT on the factory settings. Just don't go WOT up and down Barrett this week.

throw in a good money-shift every once in a while and you'll fit right in.

on a related note: i need to come see you for another rear main seal for this pos. i set the thing a hair too deep and its seeping just enough to piss me off.
