Then it'll be fine, if your using a stock ECU.

To really gain from it, you will need a tune...

nah if you wanna tune get a proper ECU, the minimal difference along with the agrovation will get to you.

I wouldn't bother with a VAFC. I'd go and get a Apex'i Power FC. They are going quite cheap nowadays.

Even though you wouldn't get MASSIVE "gains" from tuning a stock motor, you will open up some mid range power, which the DC2R lacks. I have done this with my car, and it's awsome. Also if you do any other mods in the future you can just tweak the tune slightly to deal with the new mods.
