What's the cheapest way to get AFM turned off?

I just can't fathom paying a couple of hundred bucks for a "tune" just to change one setting.

Isn't there something easier?

Nope. Custom tune but well worth it IMO.

So turning off Afm would give you better performance but potentially kill your mpg?

Tuning has lots of benefits; getting rid of AFM is just one of them (but a huge one). Yes, you (most likely) lose your powertrain warranty, but I bought this car to have fun. The purpose of having a big 'ol V8 is to have a big 'ol V8, not a 4 cylinder.

You could always insult your AFM and tell it that it's pathetic and has a small injector. That should turn it off..
