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?

I think the only down side is that you have to use Super Unleaded fuel only.
