It's for your own good Kevin, don't do it. Every car has a different fuel curve. Any modification or perhaps bad ignition system affects your fuel curve. Simply make sure everything is okay with your car, go to the dyno place to tune your AFC with wide band O2 sensor after reseting your ecu.

Default AFC tuning

He's right,... cars can vary off the showroom floor with a variance of up to 15rwhp.... as result of each ECU being different. I had a Z car that I installed a SAFC and my fuel curve (stock) was alllllllll screwed up,....lean in the lower rpms,....rich in the middle ( power loss there ) and lean again up high,... thus it had to programmed to compensate the errors of THAT ECU. If I had of put someone else's fuel map in,...I might have made the lean area of my fuel curve even leaner and detonated my engine real good and melted my pistons,...or dumped more fuel in where it was already rich and bogged my engine down even more,..to create an even greater loss of performance, a whole bunch of smoke, and a waste of investment ( cost of SAFC ). It'd be insane to even think about what you're thinkin'....just as much of a gamble as gettin' a prostitute w/o protection,...not wise.

Default depends on the shop

Normally $250 per dyno tuning hour,...that's about 9 runs,...1 baseline,...8 runs per setting on the SAFC. It costs more when you use the wideband O2 sensor as opposed to doing just a straight pull on the dyno without it. Avg install price is about $75-100.

they are going to charge me 180 for a full hour of tuning. thats as many dyno runs that i want in 1 hour. but im not sure how long it should take to dyno. but i just didnt have the money to install it and tune it at once. thursday is payday.

hey alex are you going to bring the gs to the pics for the CLC? if you are, you can bring the lint there.

IF you go to APG, make sure it's Alex who is tuning your AFC.

Default $100 dyno time...

dyno time costs different if you are just doing normal pulls vs. O2 wideband to tune. The charge more because the O2 sensor is an item that is worn by usage and thus must be replaced ( and payed for ).

$75 for a normal pull +15 per additional
