I do not have the base tune any longer, but I did have my car jail broken and tuned since about 14 k miles and it now has 45 k miles. No issues. I did end up getting jester to tune my car about 500 miles after the base tune. I did not have any issues with the base but power delivery was not very smooth; the tune provided by Jester was leaps and bounds better. I would strongly encourage having a custom tune done by one of the tuners after you get the base tune.
Yeah I was looking at phearable stage 2, but the hondata event isn't local to me so I'll be road tripping back home on the base tune. Just want to make sure it's safe. I know lots of people use it longer term but I've also read some things about it running lean etc.

You’ll be fine driving home with it. It does run lean but won’t hurt anything from what I have seen. But def would recommend a better tune after…way better.

Dang I wonder why they would make it run lean? Is it dangerously lean?

No not dangerously lean…as I said lol you’ll be fine. Just recommend a better tune cause it feels leaps and bounds better. Dont over think it.
