I think its more ability to tune for bigger bhp with options for switchable maps anti lag and true launch control.

Your standard ecu is many times better than most aftermarket units.

If your cars been remapped it should be running its best for what ever mods you have so i don't think you will make much of a gain if any. If you are planning on big mods and want the fc controller to tweak it might be worth looking into but you will really need to know what your tweaking or could end in disaster.
Hope this helps
