If you do stick with the F22, an ECU should be a later upgrade. You want to improve aspiration first (intake, header, and exhaust) and then get a new ECU to take advantage of the improved breathing.

i agree with Escobar...i think that you should get an h22 swap. IMO, these engines arent worth it to try and make them faster.

Figure $2.5 - 4K for the engine/tranny, $1 - 2K for the labor (a lot of people save by doing it themselves), and you should budget at least another $1K for miscellaneous parts and problems.

If you don't want to throw up the cash for an H22 (although it's definitely worth it!), get an Apex V-AFC... that way play with your VTEC threshold and manipulate your air fuel mixture... it's not the same as having an "upgraded ECU," but it'll be able to tailor your A/F ratio to your modifications...

Just to the left of the exhaust manifold/header when you're facing the block from the front:
