The ECU controlls every aspect of the car you could imagine. Emission, fuel mapping being the one of them. Being able to change these, mainly the fuel mapping can make some of the mods out there now, SC, NOS work a little better. Also if you go real crazy, you can up the timing and start swapping out cams, replace valave springs, and up the rev limitter. Being able to fully manipulate the ECU could help us produce 400WHP car. Doing that kind of work to your car would require an excellent mechanic and alot of fine tuning. But, boy would it be cool. Maybe possibly put this car into a sub 12 second 1/4 runs, which at some tracks would make you do one final mod, Roll Cage.

no such upgrades for the Maxima ECU exist as of now. There is the Jet chip, but I don't know if anyone has gotten any great results from that...
