Default TUNING?

This might be a stupid quesiton but oh well. I just got DC-R intake manifold, hondata gasket, and my throttle body bored to 70mm with 64mm taper ends, is there any reason for me to go ahead and get my car tuned now, or will it be ok to drive around for awhile unti l i get the everything else on my car then get it tuned?

thanks in advance

If it were my car i would get it tuned. But I dont think it will be bad for it. But it will probaly run like crap.
Just guessing though im not 100% sure that this is true.

I thought the ecu in the DC5 was a flash-rom ecu, In other words no body can tune it unless they happen to be (Hondata) Right? I think that AEM is supposed to release an EMS unit for the flash ecu in the RSX and Civic-SI. Otherwise just strap on the extras and reset your ecu, thats all you can do.
Maybe B18CXR can enlighten us on the possibilities???
