Default apexi afcII?? waste of money?

i bought an afcII form apexi off of ebay and had it professionally installed (too scared to dig into the brains). is there any performance tuning that can be done with this or is just a fancy multi-guage? i have a cold air intake, full exhaust, no-cat, a 4-2-1 header, and underdrive pulleys. can i do any tuning or did i blow $300? please help

why do you need tuning? you didnt do any mods that would need any tuning. you did basic mods (boltons)

you only need a vafc if your boosting really, and a vafc is not really the BEST way to tune anyway

if you go turbo at least you have it. you can tune it slightly and maybe gain another couple hp. its really only to scale down bigger injectors

i would sell it on and spend the $300 on something else, tuning really isnt necesarry unless you've got some heavy mods, and tuning for better MPG: https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_432859/tm.htm
