Unless you are boosted, An AFC will do more harm than good. All the AFC does is trick the ECU to either take fuel out or put extra fuel in. Since you are a stock motor with no turbo there is no need to mess with the Fuel maps on the ECU. Best bet would either do some headwork with a P&P, O/S SS valves, 3 or 5 angle valve job, some semi aggressive street cams, Possibly P&P the intake mani and do the 420A Throttle body mod. Bad part of this is that on average, a stock GS usually does about 16.5 in the 1/4 mile. With these you may only see a .5 to 1 second improvement.

What are you NGK plugs Gapped to?? Typically you want them to be at .030. If it is more or less than than it will throw your ingnition timing all off (speaking from personal experience LOL). Check that first before you spend cash on the diagnostic.

Cool, IMO though it might be a little overkill for you with stock injectors. Unless you are changing them.

as long as they hold up a nice even electical current you are fine. Make sure your plugs are gapped properly and you are good to go.
