    Default When should i put my aftermarket ECU in?

    Hey everyone i bought a perofrmance tuned ecu not long ago then had to replaced the engine in my car, i bought a HM GEM motor and have just got my 800km service. The car currently has the stock ecu in it while i am running it in but i am not too sure when i should put my preformance one in, anyone that knows a bit about this please let me know cheers Jordz!

    i have one thing to say you should have built your engine at a shop my parent company uses hm gem and rpm engines in there swaps they are not performance engines by far if you looking at performance you wasted your money with hm gem

    Not looking for performance for me to try and spend money on a 5.0l to try and make it fast i could have just bought a 6.0l and called it quits, just trying to get rid of the slow up and go of the car hence the reason i bought a performance ecu. Any ideas on the original question?
