Possibly none, but anytime you change the PCM (or engine unless you use the PCM that came with the engine youre swaping) you need to have it done. You could possibly have a slight missfire, and the PCM may or may not catch it. Mine felt like it idled a little smoother and shifted a little better when I had it done, but it could have been a faulty butt dyno, Taco bell day or something maybe.

I wouldn't drive it running that rich. That much extra fuel is too much for the PCM to trim out and it's going to wash down the cylinder walls. If you got catalytic converters this could ruin them. Your biggest risk is at startup where it's still in open loop and the oil is cold.

Its official, I will not be driving it like this anymore. I called vinci and they said that I would wash the rings down and ruin the motor as others have told me. I wont be able to get it in for the dyno tune until what could be days after next tuesday because vinci is busy so I also called Jesse at wait4me and explained to him that I cant use my stock computer while I wait for the one the dealer messed up to be retuned so he will just send me another one tomorrow with the tune I have on file and will work out the difference when he receives his back. I wouldnt do this but I need my truck for work starting Wednesday next week and cant risk vinci not being ready for a few days after. Jesse has been really great in working this out with me and his tune worked great for all of the modifications that I had before the dealer got a hold of it.
Word of advice, grab the tech by the ear and say "do you understand the words that are comming out my mouth"
