So i just recently got my engine back from the show with all the work done (forged 8.8:1 with rods valve job crank job etc). Now because of certain things i wont be able to boost my motor right away. I am still thinking i wouldneed MS to run the new engine. Do i need it or could i just run to stock computer?

You CAN use the stock computer but Since you are low compression like my self MS would help you squeeze what ever ponies you can out of your setup. Because as of right now your car should be even slower than stock. It's not fun to drive a low compression N/a Car...

oh im not worried about it being slow for the moment, it is just because school is coming up and i need my car running so i can get back and forth from work. i just dont want to damage the engine if anything because of the stock computer.

The only problem I had was when I first started up it was like my ECU had to learn my setup and what to expect from it So it did stall while in neural until I drove in stop and go traffic for about 15 mins... But I also added cams to my setup. I dont know if that is a common problem or if I was just a rare case.
