Cam install help!!

I just bought a cam from rpw. its the stage 2 cam. i have also purchased an apexi safc-2 so i can tune it and some valve springs.

my question is this.
has anyone installed any cam using an safc? if so what are your settings and what does the car do at certin rpm levels. i e "at 1400-3500 it needs no gas but beyond that it needs a lot" something like that. i basically will tune mine with what you say so please be accurate.

More ?'s
i have an rrm piggy back ecu. should i keep this?? i will have the safc-2, will i really need another computer? or could the rrm piggy back learn to handle the rpw camshaft??

I would like these questions answered also - i am interested in getting a stage 2 cam and i need to find this out.

Conversely hardcore - i think the piggyback would be good and it should be able to learn from your stuff and i think you should keep it.

Look forward to hearing how this works out

you should tune it on the dyno with a wideband o2 sensor.. that's the only way to do it

Yah...you need to take it somewhere and dyno it because it is not gonna be the best it can be. Other than that...you dont need the piggyback anymore because the afc should act like a piggy back (sort of)
