Are many or any using Range Technology or other AFM disablers ? Thoughts ?
Lots have them. I don't as I drive an M7. Top of the window, click on the little search magnifying glass thingy, type in AFM and read the ton of previous posts.

My C7 is also a M7 and I have disabled the NPP and AFM valves. Actually removed the actuators for both sets. The plug in disabler was bought from a vendor on the US forum site .... I can't remember the name of the company though. If you go to the US forum and punch in the AFM disabler, you'll get several options.

Out of curiosity, why did you disable the NPP valves? And as far as the AFM, if you don't go to ECO mode, The V4 never operates on the M7.

I changed the exhaust to a B&B Bullet. Lighter and simpler exhaust. The new exhaust didn't have the NPP valves so I removed the fuse and took off the actuators. The car doesn't go into quiet mode but I'm easy on the gas .... at least until it warms up. The Borla catless x-pipe doesn't have the AFM valves (my choice) so I took the actuators off as well and Dave at Race Ready Garage did the rest with some reprogramming.

I have the Range one and run it constantly, I don't think I'll ever not use it. I really hate 4 cylinder mode and it sounds so bad when it switches modes.

Also I have a suspicion that the switch between 4 cylinder and 8 cylinder mode is what causes pre-mature tensioner failures.

I just ordered one the other day waiting for it to arrive. I have seen some good reviews for it.

I found it in Amazon.ca as I am in BC it was the best price with no shipping costs so it seemed to be a good buy.
