As you well know dude is hard to get these guys attention on this forum but there are a few of us that want to keep up its reputaton.
I have a VTS and I installed my FSE about year and half ago along with a WRC RamAir induction kit with K&N. What the FSE gives you is instant power and great puckup on changing gears. The engine just picks up easy where it ends in the previous gear. Every time I wanted to get away quickly I had my wheels spinning (Not good for my Potenzas).
The best way is to go to a rolling road tuning place and get it set there according to your car. Or you can get a barometer and get it set yourself.
I usualy set it on 4bar highest. What you do is turn on the engine with the conected bar-meter on the fuel line going to the rail. On idle you disconect the vacuum on the top of the FSE and set it on 3-4bar max (if you love your fuel pump). When you conect the vacuum line you will see a drop in pressure....thats ok.
Tell me if it works!

Scott....the fountain of knowledge, are these as effective as the web site claims? not that i'm looking for more power at the moment, but for future reference.

exaclty as burtay said no real point pushing more fuel in when there is no more air to meet it

i doubt it, it may help get rid of any flat spots but power gains would be minimal
