why dont you just go with the rtek 1.8 with the 720's in both the P&S's

Are you running that much of a set up that you need to run a safc?

EDIT: I looked at you mods in your other posts, save your money and get the Rtek 1.7/1.8 Untill you get more money saved up. the Rtek will make your car scream without having someone to tune it, your not there yet. Also upgrade that fuel system!!! That can help you from running lean too.

If you need any help just holla.

You dont have to have a dyno to be able to tune it. Steve Kan doesnt use a dyno.

In order to fully tune a fuel or ignition map, you will need a good dyno with variable resistance(brake dyno...) so you can accurately tune each load cell, in each RPM range... this is fundamentals of tuning/using programmable engine management.

If not, it is more of "guesswork", and may work, for close to stock setups, but will not be as accurate, and will not run your motor with the same efficiency through all ranges/cells.

The 1.7/1.8 are made for set ups like yours. You are not running a powerful enough set up to justify the 2.1 In my opinion.

I am sure you have already read this, but this gives you a break down off all the features that the Rtek does.

I think I have an Rtek 1.7 with a set of 720cc injectors if you are interested in them. I had them for mt TII FB, but then went a different route.
