Honda programmed in a more conservative fuel map (richer air/fuel mix) on the 00-01 ECU's in order to protect the engines. They dialed in the ECU a little more aggressively after the first two model years. I just installed an '03 ECU in my '01 and it definitely runs stronger.

no. just a little richer on the top end.

The consensus here is that it is worth about 5HP on the top end.
