JWT ECU - is it worth it?

I have a 97 max with a 00vi and a fidanza flywheel along with all the other standard bolt ons. I also have the stock 5th gen TB and not a PF TB. Its a manual trans too. I haven't gotten an ECU to extend the rev limiter abd remap it yet. I know that there are othe options for ECUs but don't feel like all the dyno tuns and complexity of hooking up these options. For those of you that have an 00vi, was this mod woth it? Did you feel the difference between the stock one and the remapped extended RPM JWT?

Not at all. It'll just be that much better with an extended rev limiter.

If you don't want to do any tuning yourself and you have an 00VI or MEVI, JWT ECU is the way to go. The extended rev limiter and 00VI or MEVI love eachother long time.
