you'll be fine. I went from 5-2 instead of 5-4 at around 70 mph, caught it in a fraction of a second.. watched fuel trims and data logs for a week after and nothing is out of the ordinary. they're pretty tough little motors :)
Don't be scared, it seems like a 50/50 split on these forums of "don't mod it you'll break everything, it's good enough (nearly) stock" or "send it".. just mod intelligently
