Default B serise swap ECU question

Ive had this ecu sitting for like 4 years, im putting new everything on the car and am wondering if i should run this ECU or take it to one of those refurbished places and get a new one?

Its a race car, track only, my only consern is the ecu fubaring mid run at 11k rpm and blowing my uber expensive motor

Should i do anything or will it be fine? Im cheap and dont want to spend the $ but if its a good idea ill dish out the cash

What???....i dont get it...youre using a stock ecu with a, quote "uber expensive motor" and you dont want to spend the money?......Dude, if your motor is that built, get an S300 and tune your car bro, seriously. I never drive my car until its tuned after I build a motor, thats just me tho. Its worth the money, or you can risk blowing your motor........
Either way bro, get it Dyno Tuned, bottom line. If you get someone who is good at tuning, your setup will run at its full potential. Using a different ecu for another setup is just asking for a blown motor. Put it this way, Would you run a D16 ecu on a K20 motor?......thats my $0.02.....
(yes i realize P28's and P06's are used on D,B,H series motors, but not on a built motor)
