In that millisecond where the engine makes about 1/8 of a revolution, several valves will be in motion, a plug will fire, etc. If the ECU is only able to capture a small sample of the events that are happening then it'll be ineffective at regulating the engine, and efficiency and durability will suffer.

I also understand why it makes sense hypothetically, but if see5 was able to increase it 400 RPM and make power without a piggyback, coprocessor, or standalone ECU of some sort, then my friend is going to be
really interested to know this haha.
