S-AFC = better fuel economy?
If i get the safc can i turn fuel at idle and under 2krpm waaaay down?
Im running pig rich down low with the rewired walbro.
Also if i hook it up to run boost dependant, with the low setting at ~2V and high at 3.6V (fcd clamp voltage) can i turn it down on low and up at high safely? Will it compensate properly or is it safer to leave the low settings at 0 and increase fuel under boost?

Me = Staying above 6000rpm all the time + winter has net me around 450km / tank
You = Staying below 3000rpm all the time has net you around 460km/tank
If I drove like you in summer, I can go 700km/tank.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Hum, I have a S-AFC and 720cc seconadries, walboro pump, and rewired power to it.
I had this weird problem. When heading up a hill in fifth gear about 2700 rpm the car would bog down....would press the gas to about 32% throttle and it would go to about 5psi.....it was still slowing down. If i press the gas more nothing happens. Boost goes up but the car does not respond. So latter that drive i was just about out of gas so turned the safc down to about - 13%. It then did better go up the hills! More power. I wonder if it was running pig rich in the low range. I will have my wideband hooked up soon. So I can get back to you on that.
