what do you even have in your engine that would require an ECU upgrade. unless you have gone N/A or Forced Induction, you're better off giving me those 600-2000 dollars.

An ecm upgrade won't add any hp gains even if I have an after market exhaust, header, and sri?

Maybe a couple HP...usually you wont see any gains from a custom ECU unless you have a moderately modified car....the no-rev limit, no speed limiter..is basically useless

Not on an SOHC VTEC engine that was built for fuel economy first and power second. Just changing the VTEC engagement point to a lower RPM and dumping more fuel in is going to result in lower MPG and very small power gains. Our cars are pretty much 'tuned' from the factory, so unless you do some serious upgrades you won't get much out of it.
