i dont have the safc yet...but i have a metal HG 550/lex FPR AVC-R WBo2 and a few others not key to tuning...i know it needs more A/F ratio tuning than what the FPR can give me.

haha i'd tune it myself buuuuut i dont feel like blowing it up...it's running too rich fosho and the last thing i wanna do is lean it out too much.
