ECU: More HP/Torque, Better MPG, whats the CATCH?
I've been contemplating an ECU reprogram and the prospect of more HP/Torque AND better gas mileage has me very interested. Other than the $300+ spent -whats the catch? What do I "give up?" Will the car flunk emissions now?

it basically makes your car run on smaller tolerances. You will most likely have to use higher grade fuel and better fluids and oil. It basically makes your car run on a higher level, and therefore must have higher quality tools to do so.
