unless there is something i am missing, a vtec controller only allows you to change the vtec engage point, so no tuning is possible.

additionally, here is a web page explaining roughly why piggyback devices are not suitable for tuning. http://mycomputerninja.com/~jo....html

the best thing to do with a vtec controller on most cars is throw it in the trash. Get the ecu tuned and you will be much better off.

What kind is it? If its a vafc you can tune your fuel maps but wouldnt suggest doing so unless you have a wideband. There is also something dealing with these things automatically advancing timing, witch is something you def want to look into before you started [freak]in with it. Get it on a dyno and it will work fine.
