A stock ecu is a factory original item prior to being reflashed or otherwise tampered with.
The ECU (Electronic Control Unit, Engine Control Unit or What ever you want to call it) is a device that reads the EPROM and then performs the required task.
As Jon stated he infact does use a FACTORY ECU, his claim does not state that he uses factory mapping.
I can understand where you are coming from in respects to spamming his time EVERYWHERE but i think you are being a little harsh. I think he should be commended for trying to push the limitations of the factory ecu and making mention of it. This information is useful and is then readily available for people looking to modify on a budget or retain as much daily drivability as possible. There are a lot of people that would like to know they can run a low 12 sec pass with basic mods, re-mapped eprom and a factory equiped ecu.
