    Changing the ECU alters many things, such as the fuel curves, redline, VTEC crossover, etc. A well modified car should also have a swapped or upgraded ECU to keep up with the new fuel and redline demands.

    On a stock gsr? It would do nothing; even make you lose power.

    The topic's been covered before, but you're better off saving up for hondata or even a relatively cheap V-AFC and some dyno time. ECU's are specific towards a particular application, so there's no one size fits all.

    ecu's are pointless to get unless they are tuned to the mods you have on your car.
