If you are going with nitrous i would not use the AFC. I'm sure you could, but it is just a little risky IMO. Go with the u-tech.

^^^ I agree. Aside from the inability to alter ignition timing (scary), AFC as a fuel management piggyback for modern smart ECUs is very risky. There are more elegant piggyback solutions out there like the eManage Ultimate. Standalone like the UTEC is naturally preferred over any piggybacks. Having said that, UTEC is far from the best standalone available, but it is one of the most economical.

You should go with an real EMU - UTEC, eManage Ultimate or FCON IS - the issue with the FCON is that you can't do anything with it - you have to have a shop that is certified do the work, and adjustments etc. You have no freedom and could get stuck with a tuning shop you may at some point not like, etc. You never know.

Go UTEC or Emanage Ultimate..get the harnesses for them as well - you'll have tuner freedom.
