Motor wise, yes; chassis wise, not even close. An FZ1 will never be able to do this, but then again neither will I:

I beg to differ there. A modded (cheap free mods and PC3) FZ1 is almost close to a naked R1.
I have to disagree with that. My last bike was a pretty much standard 08 R1 and the FZ1 doesn't even come close in acceleration, braking, handling or top end.
The FZ1, even with all the usual mods done, the rearsets changed and the suspension sorted won't come close to an R1

So, what I'm reading I can have my '08 ECU 'remapped' to '10 specs? WHere do I get that done at? My complaint with the bike is eveyones complaint-lousy throttle response/cut below 4000! So, who do I send it too?
Thanks! I don't see any sense in 'performance' up grades on my '08 other then the throttle response below 4000! If I wanted a 'performance' bike, I'd of bought the ZX-14 and made some 'up grades'! BUT I would like the lousy throttle repsonse cured! I think my $$$ will go to some suspension up grades, as I'm NOT happy with the shock and forks AND the seat!!! On my 3200 mile ride in July, the 'seat' has to be changed (I'm thinking of a Russell seat, as his shop is only 3 hrs from my place) and the shock SUCKS! for miles and miles and miles . . . . a little more 'compliance' would be nice, front and rear.
To be technically correct, the 2010+ ECU may cure the snatch but not the fuel cut. Fuel cut is always going to be there in all modern fuel injected vehicles due to EPA BS. FCE cures that. Maybe all modern bikes may benefit from a FCE even if there is no snatch.
Hey you live in Austin...
Man... I wish I could see if the new ECU is worth the price tag...
I know brand new it's around $400, but you got it for like $200... If it's really all that, then $400 wouldn't be so bad. About the cost of a single tire for my car...

IMHO the throttle response issue is solved (or becomes a non-issue) with the application of PC unit (I have an '08 but use the PCV). In fact, improved throttle response is the most notable mprovement with a PC unit.
That said, if I could get an '10 ECU for under $300, I'd go that route first-based solely on Hellgate's report.
