Default vtec controller

Guys, just wondering what can be done with a vtec controller? I dont really know if it would be useful for my setup. I have a d16z6 with a y8 head, b16 TB, reground cam, I- H -E and might be getting the head shaved a bit.

What kind of tuning can be done?

can i do it myself?

Do i need a dyno?

Is it worth it for me? thanks and

definately need a dyno.. you can adjust your vtec point and some controllers allow you to adjust fuel curves.

you don't really have enough done to your motor that you would need a vtec controller. And some say that after putting there car on a dyno there vtec point is stock, cause thats where the power is.
