Im debating with...myself?

Im not a big fan of tuning so im planning to use the Enthalpy tuned oem ECM.

Do you need something like SAFC2 when you have a tune like that or can you trust the tune to do the job perfectly by itself.

My plans are to buy a 240,then swap a sr20det in it.Im going to rebuild it with 8.5:1-86.5mm forged CP pistons/eagle conrod.

GT2871rs .64 is my turbo choice along with 740cc injectors and implanning on hiting 300 to 330 whp.

So my question is do I absolutely need SAFC2 when i got a Enthalpytune or can I trust it 100%.

Thanks in advance.

Kent.

You could always go with JWT. I've heard less complaints about theirs.. I went with them, but can't vouch for their tune seeing as how my car still has some gremlins.

Pretty sure they're not related to my tune if that's what you're asking. The car starts at the turn of the key, but it won't hold idle. It runs stupid rich, until the ecu pulls fuel and makes it lean out. The car currently has bad gas in it, so that's getting drained and replaced first. I currently have the car at National Speed Inc. so that they could finish a couple things and further diagnose the issue. Everything seems to be pointing to a boost leak, but I was unable to find it. Hopefully, I'll find out tomorrow...
