It's preprogrammed and burned in so you can't do anything to it beyond add a piggyback system. Do a search a few Spoon ECU users have been really disappointed. Mugen ECU has had a good following, the Amuse is still relatively rare (only 2 or 3) on this board. You won't find much information on it beyond what's on their website. They are very guarded about the details (as you Mugen).

the amuse hi tech rom raises the redline to 9200 rpms. it also lowers the vtec engagement point from 5850 rpms to 5650 rpms.

this thing is on my hit list.

the mugen ECU and Amuse ECU both have more aggressive timing.

Also, here in NYC, we can't pass emissions with either one.

dunno, but it's up there. Amuse offers a replacement gauge cluster to accomodate for the higher revs and fuel cutoff.

in a Best Motoring race, there was an amuse car that had the ROm, but didn't have the gauge cluster so you see the red blinker blink for like 10 seconds before the guy shifted, but the car didn't bog.
