Message	Use an AFC to tune your car. You can get into all that CHIP tuning crap too, but it's not gonna be as cheap as people think. The more things to modify (spark dwell, timing, fuel maps, etc..etc), the more time you will be spending on the dyno. Easiest/Cheapest solution; JWT ECU, Apexi AFC, 1 Hour on the Dyno. Greatest Gain Solution; Chip, Burner, Software, and 3 Days on the Dyno. You guys mistakenly think that you can just throw a cookie cutter chip into a car and have it perfect. And, to top it all off, if you have boost or vacuum leaks, or old spark plugs, or a dirty air filter, you are only masking whats really the problem.
