Re: Will I even Need Engine Management
Most people here won't agree but honestly for low boost the vafc/safc, greddy blue box thing or even a FMU would be fine....but if you plan on making a good amount of power or turning up the boost....get a good system

Anyway, I'm gonna go with the S-AFC now and am gonna use RC or Lucas 440cc's. DSM 450's(low impedence) give you bad idle. Screw MSD, i aint paying for something I can do myself
