Default Skunk2 ECU or stock p72?

I've found a p28 Skunk2 mapped ecu that I am interested in and I want to purchase from a guy in the classifieds forum. The ECU modifies vtec x-over to 5500 and changes rev limiter to 9000. I was curious to know whether or not I would benefit from this with my set-up?

94 GSR EG hatch
AEM v2
OBX 4-2-1
Apex'i N1
Exedy clutch (coming soon)

If anyone has any experience, please let me know before money so I don't end up buying something I don't really need.

YES...IT WILL HELP YOU. from experience, i know a guy with almost the same set up as you with a skunk2 ecu and he had mad power gains...especially top-end. i replaced my ecu with a jun chipped p28 and i couldnt believe the difference in my motors performance. buy it

youre only gonna see the real potential with that ecu if you replace your intake manifold w/ no secondary runners, and some agressive cams. assuming you still have the stock manifold and cams, that ecu will do you more harm than good

aftermarket cams arent necessary to see the gains im talking about..i was assuming that your gsr swap didnt have secondary butterflies and that it was a jdm motor. my bad.

The raised rev limiter is a bad idea and you should not buy a pre-mapped ecu. Get Hondata S200 and you will be good off. That is for a different setup so it's not mapped for gains on your car.
