I'm a bit curious myself... I believe I saw you shouting something the other day about buying a lot of stuff from SlowBoy, which would make sense of your screen name, but tell us about your setup, man.
Also, you'll find that people here are among the best in the community, but they're not going to just let you rest on your laurels. We appreciate your taking the time to figure out how to not post in caps all the time (know it has something to do with where you work), but now is the time when I have to point out you just did the following...
I need advice! Car is running great. Thank you for your help.
What kind of advice are you looking to get, son? Keep firing!

im pretty sure that MSnS could give you a bit more as far as tuning goes. im not too familar with all there capabilities though, maybe someone else can guide ya better but it sounds like it could work and should be better then the S-AFC

the manual is a bit of heavy reading, I've seen it running in real life, it's not that bad really, and it's the only real option for our cars when it comes to tuning as piggybacks don't really work too well and there aren't any real options for PnP style EMS. as soon as I get myself out of this financial funk I'm in it's the way I'm going!
