    If you don;t know how to tune or have a tuner do it for you, an aftermarket ECU is a worthless pile of circuit boards. You truly need to know what you are doing before making the switch to a standalone unit.

    higher rpm, more tuning "options" (batch fire, sequential fire, waste spark, CD, etc), datalogging, faster processors for more accurate control. "hotter" spark, some have features built in (boost contol) lots more reasons im sure..that just what i know from my limited experiance with them...hopefully ill be gettin alot more familiar withthem soon though.
