However, if you are talking about the ECU that blends all this incoming data, you need as big of a processor as possible - speed is very important.

I doubt any of us could tell a difference in processor speed with a bolt-on chip.
Agreed and well said, my friend . You and paicapo are probably right regarding that the processor speed won't be noticeable to us until we get down to what is actually going on at the ECU level with live computer data showing results side by side. I wonder if there is a program like AnTuTu Benchmark for cars, lol.
