AFM question regarding Tii swap

I was reading some info in the archive and saw that a tII AFM was on the parts list... now is this part required when doing a TII swap in to an N/A? If this is a dumb question but I have heard that this is not needed, is that an accurate statement?

I beg to differ. My conversion ran flawlessly with an NA afm. I ran 13 sec quarters and the motor never blew and ran fine. Dont waste your money on a TII afm.

The N/A AFM will max out before the T2 AFM. I Honestly have no idea when that will happen, but with anything more than basic bolt-on's I'd rather spend an extra 40 bucks and have a T2 AFM.

thanks guys, I just need to run then, I'm going stand alone b4 the end of the year... I just wanted to make sure the car would run properly but why would you not run WOT, again I know dumb question but is the reasoning behind your comment (just trying to get smarter)

For those with the N/A AFM's, how much power are you putting down?

Interesting.

A t2 afm on a n/a will make it run leaner, I believe Hailers proved this by swapping afm's onto the turbo car and watching the wideband. I imagine a n/a afm on a t2 would actually run slightly richer from the lower spring rate. The only problem with the n/a afm's lower spring rate is that it should max out before the turbo afm.

What a/f ratio's are you running at 12 pounds?
