Mounting V-AFC

Getting it installed and dyno'd tomorrow. Where have people mounted the unit? I have seen it in the sunglasses holder. Anywhere else?

Thanks

I am mounting it in the glovebox. Out of sight (solves rice question) and yes, I am getting it dynoed. Thanks to asiankidd (Jon) for the Factor X referral. They are great people

its usually around 100 to install and it costs a good performance shop about 125$ an hour to tune it.......should only take 1 hour.....they just see ur hp curve & fix the vtec to the right spot..they got mine at 4700. after , they tune the air/fuel ratio to get the most hp

Install and tune was $350. I got a 10 hp increase pretty much through out the rpm range. The biggest surprise was how rich it was running. So they leaned it out a bit which should get me better mpg. Max hp is 218.8. They said there dyno runs low so I might get one at another shop to compare. The printer was down so I'll try to post the dyno as soon as I get it.

The unit tucked neatly inside the golvebox. We gave it some slack so I can pull it out to change the settings when needed.
