I did.... Nothing happened in the 30 min drive. I stayed off the freeway and under 30 mph. Just get it to whereever you gotta go and tow it from there for the tune.

Mind you im @ 12:1 cr so it wasnt the smartest thing to do but I didnt have much of a choice at the time. Some may argue with this so Im just putting that out there lol.

you should be fine, i ran my gsr vx hatch with a p28 for like 3 months before i bought the p72 ecu for it. but you need to have it dynotuned, because there's not a basemap for ls/vtec in any ecu so is better if you have it dynotuned to get the most out of it and to get it running the right way.

ya im waiting on my socketed ecu with just a basemap but this is my only car
so im sick of waiting. Took it out last night and it was fine.. Anyone know where the
nipple that comes off the head goes to? Its where the upper radiator hose goes into
the head, my bay had a bath last night.. Too bad it was with coolant!!!

P28 will drive an LS/Vtec quite well.

You should try to refrain from driving it still... Because you have to and being impatient are wayyyy different. Id hate to see you cause damage before your ecu arrives.

no i believe its only on gsr's. everyone seems to be thinking the bleeder screw,
i put a line on the nipple and plugged it, well something is not right because it overheated and steam was coming from under the intake, i just cant figure out why its getting so hott?
