It's a resistor you put on your IAT to trick the ECU into leaning the fuel mixture. If it works at all, you won't see 22hp.

Would there be a point to adding the resistor if you have an safc?

I just read it though, it changes the signal and the ecu then advances timing and "in some cases also the fuel mixture".

Why not lean out an rx7?
Thats why we buy S-afc, to gain the missing hp from running too rich on top end.

I know that...
But I'm just wondering if it's worth the time because if there is nothing to gain, what's the point?

This is not a good idea especially with a turbo.

It's not a problem if you know what you're doing.

Leaning out an NA is the easiest way to 10+ HP. They run pig rich stock.
