Then it will run like **** until then. How do you plan on tuning at your appointment with a stock ECU?

So you've been running it and apparently are not THAT worried about it so what's the concern?

Please explain to my how VTEC will blow up?

Like I said, it will like crap until it's tuned.

uh, no. you have twice the air and half the fuel, it's going to run like SH*T until you tune it. if you don't have another car, buy the ECU in advance with a basemap and drive it like a vagina for three weeks. You shouldn't even be trying to hit Vtec on a basemap, WTF.
I wish I had a stack of papers to throw in the air right now.
