If you tell your tuner to stick to the oem tables, then sure. But that way you're giving up most of the gains to be had with a tune. If you leave timing alone, all you really get is an afr adjustment. That's not going to generate much power unless you've got enough mods to throw the oem ecu for a loop. But the best thing about ecutek is that it runs what you tell it to. You tell uprev what you want, and then it tries to figure out if that's what you really wanted after all.

As long as you've got a good tuner and you tell him not to go nuts, you'll be fine. These motors are stout. Guys are running 600+whp on the stock block. If it can take that, it'll be fine with a moderately aggressive NA tune. There just aren't a lot of people with popped NA motors that didn't do something really stupid.
