Default replacement engine, will my chipped ECU be ok to run it??

hey guys, im having a replacement engine fitted to my rst and am wondering if my chipped ecu will be ok running it?

my last engine was the same besides kent cams,ap clutch and vernier pulleys. Obviously i know every engine is different so the maps/fueling is slightly different but i want to know if my old setup chip should be ok running the replacement engine for a bit until i have it set up properly by MSD?

Thanks

So long as you can restrain your right foot, it would be ok for running in new engine.
