yes you can see a difference BUT, you can advance the timing on your own and gain damn near as much HP the ECU will provide. Also, don't rev your motor that high, if you do without and upgraded valve train (Valve springs and retainers) then you will experience valve float. Also, our cams won't really produce power up that high, they will actually lose it, that's why it's good to have an aftermarket cam with these ECU's, plus the upgraded valve train of course.
