I think I remember reading somewhere that with a V-AFC alone, I can get decent additional power out of my R. Something about Honda keeping it kinda lean up high, probably for emissions or fuel economy.
Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Actually, the opposite is true. After 7k rpm, the Type R ECU dumps way too much fuel in. That makes it run very rich and kind of sluggish. Most peope I've talked to with a V-AFC have to tune down the fuel amount at that point. It keeps the engine from running lean at that speed, which isn't good for the engine since it makes exhaust gas temp go up.

I wonder if I should get a V-AFC before anything...
