The ECU doesn't know about it, nor does it care about it. It doesn't make any difference to the ECU one way or the other. You could plug a 1.0L in, or a 8.0L and the ECU wouldn't have to change a thing. That's just how ECU's (ours/DSMlink at least) work.
It didn't appeared that you'd searched as I know that discussion has come up many times on the DSMlink forum. My apologies for suggesting you might learn something from "someone" (because posts made by someone apparently don't count).
That roll bar setup may well pass NHRA tech or IHRA tech, but I personally would be concerned with the rear bracing in the event of a crash. Generally speaking, roll bars and cages function best when the forces are transferred in continuous flowing lines. The rear braces on your setup change the force angles a few times, which would make me personally hesitant about it.
Also (you mention the project as being incomplete, so you likely already know this, but...) I see no door bars, which though you needn't one on the passenger side, one on the driver side is required -- same with the seat belt bar/cross brace. Also, once you put a rollbar/cage in the car, rules state that you need 5-point harnesses as well in order to pass tech (since no passengers are allowed at moroso, that's also drivers side only). The cross-brace/belt bar must be no higher than the drivers shoulders, and no more than 4" below their shoulders.
I'm not trying to be critical, I'm just relaying information.
XtremeDrag, you have an auto DSM that (last I heard) only shifts to 3rd and reverse.
Did you ever get that figured out/fixed, by the way? And WTF is up with your phone? Been trying to call, but your number no longer works.
