i have read about them online... you can find all that info
i have no first hand experience with them so i cant provide grate detail.
as far as safc if you want to exceed 15psi you need to couple a Boosting Timing Manager along with that. for my 8 to 10 psi setup... i just back the timing off a bit from the stock 20deg. that kept all my internal parts inside the motor lol.

o aight..the reason i was lookin for on is the i just rebuilt my bottoom end wit 90 pistons which bumps up the comp to about 10.5 with the stock head with port n polish on the exhaust,headers,excessive intake mani,aem intake,370 inj..it starts fine and idles but when u rev it up till about 4 grand its shuts right off with no studder or any warnin so i was thinkin it was not enough fuel..what u think??vinnie chime in anytime

some of the negative remarks are warranted thought because piggybacks fool the ecu. obviously there are also limitations to what a piggyback can do when compared to a stand alone or tuned ecu but for the price what more can one expect.

yea but its exactly why my cars run and I compete while others are always broken and crying on forums.. I cant tell you how many times I have seen "standalone" cars all blown up in my almost 9 years of tuning and racing.
standalone for what.. if your not putting out serious power.. your wasting time and money.
I'm just telling you from my own experience not all the horror stories and theories around the net.. i have worked with Hondata and AEM that's about it besides SAFC. I was going to go with Tec 3 for my KA-T setup because I was about to take it to the next level before i went to japan..
I had NO issues with my safc that is all. it doesn't fool anything coupled with a wideband and 550 and under injectors its good. and when you look at it fooling or manipulating it's the same thing. standalone doesn't come set in a box ready for plug n play turn key and drag/drift etc you must Tune it aka Manipulate it aka Fool it to run with your setup.
jram its not directed toward you.. but it just makes me sick at all the BS that fly's around online. when guys prove things work.. people just want to go off of other sources they Deem creditable instead of doing it themselves. I will not speak on ANYTHING that i have not touched myself.

it's all good even if it was directed at me i'd be ok with it.
i will clarify however that i didn't say that a safc was a bad idea. what is a bad idea is any sort of ecu tampering without the proper know how. be it a safc, standalone or chipped ecu they all serve a purpose and can be beneficial if and when the user fully understands the intended use for the product.
