i have heard a few ppl rattling on about them but someone one said to me that the safc will send your timing up the spout when it changes the afr ratio....??? can anyone explain a little to me as i dont know a lot about them and three ppl have just bought them in my area but im not so sure they work well and reliably

yes it does change your timing..... when you add or take away fuel, your ecu thinks that the car in under different load conditions and advances or retards the timing. this could lead to major engine damage if you dont know how to use it correctly

the Emanage is bettter in every way. it allows you to control fuel and timing at the same time. the only reson why its not as popular, is because it dosnt have a cool display like the safc. you have to hook up a laptop to it to tune it.

but if you set a correct afr ratio what need would the ecu have for changing timing???? surely it only changes timing when it senses somehting amiss?

not doubting you lagos jus trying to get my head round it
