Have 08 si with k24a2 with rbc, injen cai, 50* vtc. Currently running stock tune. It's the 07 k24a2 running decent on stock tune.

Did you open up the engine and clay for valve to piston clearance?

So the only real concern then with the 50* VTC is the cam can over rotate from time to time when the ECU runs a cleaning cycle for the vtec valve. It would have been a better plan to get a mechanically limited VTC gear at 40*. I don't think you'll have an issue, but it is possible.
With the Type S pump, is there a rev limit RPM you want to run?
Is the exhaust system stock? Are you planning for more upgrades in the near future?

I'm not 100% sure where the limit should be set. I've seen mixed opinions with where people have set it. I saw one of the other threads that you were actually on and they only went to 8000. Its a daily driver that I do like to beat on. Would I be able to try that tune on mine or does it make sense to start fresh?
The exhaust is stock other than a high flow cat and for now I'm not planning on doing anymore mods. Working my way to turboing it in the future
