I am sitting here rattling my brain searching and thinking and cannot figure this out. I plan on performing the VE head swap and can not decide/figure out what to do about engine management. I am considering an AEM standalone. My biggest thing is what I heard..
I heard (do not know, just heard) that Honda's VTEC is controlled by the ECU and there is two seperate maps (for in VTEC and out of VTEC).

Now, I am sitting here searching and thinking, if they can have it why the f*** can't I? I am spending the money, it's my cake, I want to eat it too..

What are my options? There does not seem to be a lot.. Or have I not searched enough? As far as my preferences, I think an ECU (based on if Honda has it, if they don't and it is not possible, then so beit.) option that does not give us control/tuning over the VVL does not sound great...

Anyone with experience or knowledge on what to run and what works, and delivers in depth tunng, I am ready to digest..
