I'm scared to install my super AFC
I finally got my super AFC in the mail yesterday after 2 months of waiting, and now that it's here I'm half scared to install it. After reading the manual searching a ton of posts in this forum I realize I don't have a clue of how to set this thing up. I don't think there is anywhere around my area (central pennsylvania) that I could have this thing tuned and I don't think I want to pay to have it tuned anyway. I have 720cc injectors to go with it and I would love to put this sucker in to add some more juice, but I only have 1,200 miles on a rebuilt engine that took me 2 months to drop in, so I really don't want to mess it up. I hoping someone will take the time to explain to me what exactly is involved in tuning this thing, what kind guages I will need, and maybe someone could explain the whole Dyno testing thing to me, sorry but I have a lot to learn.
thanks

Are you connfident\good with splicing wires? If so there's nothing to be afraid
I haven't tune mine, but you can search and find what most people shoot for
Or maybe somebody else will replay with a better answer on how to tune in on a dyno.
The SAFC looks complictaed, but is not.........TRUST ME!!

Some one correct me if I am wrong but you can install it and leave it alone till you have more information on how to tune it. It should keep all # stock till you start tweaking . So at least you can have it in your car that might get some of the anticipation/edge off ya

So if I just install the S-AFC and set the # of cylinders and sensor numbers then it will just channel info without changing anything? I guess as long as I don't plug in any correction factors I will be fine? So far from what I understand I will need an air/fuel guage or an exhaust temp guage to tune this, but once I have them how do I read them and understand them? I have no idea what these guages look like, which ones I should get, where to get them, how to interpret them, exc.

Do the default settings change how it would normally run?
