The stock computer can do a lot. Just depends on what computer you are using and what operating system.

The stock calibration obviously won't work, it will have to be tuned by you with all the correct data put into the calibration to function correctly.

People can make 700-800+ horsepower on a stock computer no problem.

Concerning P59 and 0411-

Some of the ECUs have hard limits for things like rev limiter and injector sizes

I do not know which ones are which, and who is who- but these hard limits may make it hard to make the power you want, or achieve smooth idle on gigantic injectors

Some ECUs can do E85 and 3 bar MAP sensors. Some cannot. Some can do idle control of a manual throttle body and some cannot

I don't know if any of them can be directly attached to a boost solenoid. You might be able to fudge things around in some of the nitrous tables- or play with some of the I/O for things you may not be using. But I don't know if any of them have code written for direct control of a boost solenoid
