For those with a VAFC installed
After you installed it, but BEFORE you started up the car for the first time, did you have to change any of the settings?
I'm gonna install mine in the next couple of weeks and before I blow my car up, I wanted to know what everyone did.
BTW, I went the smart way and bought the Frog Engine Controls harness. I should have it in the next week or so. Plug and play.
Thanks.

Its a piggyback fuel computer and VTEC controller. Basically it can change when VTEC is engaged.
Description from APEXI webpage:
A'PEX introduces the first digital fuel computer that combines fuel computer functions with a VTEC engagement controller. The V-AFC features a user-definable, eight-point, adjustable fuel curve that can be set in 500 RPM increments. The range of fuel adjustment is +/- 50% at each of the user-defined setting points. The Fuel Adjustment function considers wide/narrow throttle and low/high camshaft settings, from which four different fuel maps are created (wide-low, wide-high, narrow-low, narrow-high). The integrated VTEC Controller adjusts the point at which the engine switches from the Lo to Hi cam during acceleration, as well as when the engine switches from the Hi to Lo cam during deceleration.
Due to the complexity of this product, A'PEX recommends having the V-AFC and other A'PEX electronics installed and tuned by authorized A'PEX Power Excel Shops.

Basically it plays with the map sensor voltage input to the PCM. The PCM will adjust injector duty cycle(more or less) to compensate for the map sensor voltage it sees. (Not the voltage it IS, since you adjusted it) Oh yeah,and you can change the vtec engagement points. .
