The Y7 is a non-VTEC engine. If you want VTEC, you don't want that head. In fact, there's no point in using it for a head swap unless you're in dire need of getting your car running.

Well, what did AhhVTEC say that I agreed with?

I'm not going to hold your hand here, man. I'm expecting you to do part of the work by using your brain. This isn't rocket science so take a few deep breaths and relax a little.

It's just software, the actual burning of the chip doesn't cost much either, making a good map (tuning) is what costs money or you could learn how to use the program....but then again you have to know what you're doing or you're blow up your motor.
