haltech f10x

Just a question, If I run a f10x will I see the same results as running an safc or emanage??? Will I be able to remove the afm, but still use the stock ecu to run the timing, or will I need to change to a distributor? Thanks you all..

The F10 is a fuel only computer, and cannot be used in conjunction with the stock ecu. You'll have to use a distributor or find another way to control ignition timing. If you're just looking for fuel control using the stock ECU, I'd go with emanage. The options and map resolution are far superior to an S-AFC.

I run an F10 with a distributor and have had good results with it. I love the simplicity of the setup, especially when I hear about people constantly having CAS problems, etc. Maybe I give up a little power because I don't have as much control over ignition timing, but my car is a street car so a few HP don't matter to me. I was looking for a reliable, inexpensive setup. Tuning is a breeze, as is troubleshooting should you ever come across a problem. Just run a dizzy with boost retard, tune it with a wideband and you're ready to go.

I know a few other people who run an F10 and have also had good results. If you have any more questions about it, drop me a line.
