Well, if you chip the ecu it allows someone to tune the car to get the most out of your current combination of parts and that is really the only time they are beneficiary.

If your motor is relatively stock or you are just using a basemap to try to improve the cars performance.. I would sugget just leaving it with the stock ecu.

That clears it up for me since my gsr motor is only stock. Thank you

How about if I were to do a b20/vtec or a ls/vtec. Would a chipped ecu do a great difference?
