even though there are little gains
would the way in which the power band
comes be more smooth and progressive

don't bother unless u have a few mods under the hood to gain from.

there isn't a hell of a lot of offer performance wise for V6 accords so i guess other than maybe an exhaust and/or intake your setup is stock.

leave it as is man, the factory settings from honda are good as they are.

yeah your right, most of the performance mods for my car are in america and i dnt wanna import stuff from there id rather get it somewhere local.

i read reviews about the apexi vafc sounded promissing...i thought it might help deliver a more linear power curve as my car has a flat spot at bout 2200 rpm.

no point getting a Apexi unit unless you have some serious mods done to the car i.e port and polished, exhaust, intake, bigger throttle body and etc..

i work at a honda dealer and in the last month we've had 2 customers ask us to rip out their VAFC-II's hahahaha.

seriously mate other than the ricey bling bling factor there isn't much point.
if are looking at doing serious performance mods to your car you should be getting a new stand alone computer anyway mate

just make sure it's wired up right if u get it.
we had a customer than had the power source coming from his map sensor so it ran like shiiet.
