I need help with my b16a, I recently swap to CTR cams, i notice difference, but I think I can take out more from my car, maybe a ECU reset (that helps???). I donīt have cam gears, but I have Apexi VAFC, and fuel pressure reg. , CAI injen, DC header&exhaust, and some other mods.
Can someone can help me???

I am not sure what it is that you are asking. And what kind of car do you have?

Ahh I see you don't live in the U.S ;) Ok yes it would be a good idea to reset the ECU, but it would aslo be a good idea to get either a hondata or Vafc to tune the fuel an ignition. Are there any shops with a dyno and a person who know how to tune around where you live?

I already have a apexi VAFC, and I have a Dyno near my house too.
I need to put more fuel into the chamber??????
how much??????

You have to get it on a dyno with a wideband to find out.

whtteg knows what he's talking about, you might want to listen to him or be a little bit more clear on what you are actually looking for.

Ok you are not listening to me! You have to get the car on a dyno and hook up a wideband 02 sensor to the car to tell you where in the rpm range you need to add or remove fuel and where to add or remove timming. It is as simple as that, without the wideband there is no way of knowing where to change the settings. You cannot assume that someone else that has a setup close to yours that has had it tuned can give you the correct adjustments, because they will not be what your motor needs. Every motor, even the same exact kinds, are going to require different fuel and ignition maps when tuning.
