I've seen this done before on Kitt's RB powered 240, as he blew up like 3 ECU's before it was diagnosed (wrong impedance on the injectors). Oh and AEM Gen 2 can use sequential fire, but Gen 1 boxes are wasted spark, although that has nothing to do with Stone's car.

    at IP.
    Ive been around my fair share of hondas i have NEVER seen a wrong resistor box cause a car to not hit vtec, and run virtually NORMAL with no signs of any issues.

    Usually when you have low impedance and no resistor box the car wont even run , if you have high impedance AND a resistor box the car will run but youll burn the injectors up, possibly the ECU.

    I dont see a car with low impedance injectors and no resistor box running at all let alone that good as it did that day. I was there.

    but hey, again i dont know everything.

    I honestly think if the injectors were really the problem, the car wouldnt have made it through tuning sessions at Topspeed or BG, as Hondata concluded, the car with low imp. no resisor box would have fried his ECU within minutes, and his batter voltage (which we tested) was below 12 volts.

    This has nothing to do with it being a Honda. It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, it will react the exact same. I've seen it, and done it before with a few other cars that I've tuned. The ECU doesn't always fry just like that. In some cases the car can run for quite awhile without showing any signs of anything being wrong.
