lol I swear people think I can't look at the dash right. Yes i'm sure that's what I got that day, this was shifting at around 2500 rpm's or even before and 58 mph down the highway.

Nope, no other mods. You can add maps as Cobb comes out with them, or purchase them from Perrin as well. If you get a protune the map is added as well and then you can switch from it or to it anytime you want.

Shifting at 2500? Talk about no torque...

I took a road trip in August, 90% highway driving, about a 5 hour drive averaging around 70mph and I got an even 26mpg for a good majority of the trip. This was on a bone stock car the week after I bought it and I was shifting normally the whole way (around 3300) with a couple packed suitcases in the car.

Yeah, I take it as easy as possible when daily driving. I'm glad you pointed out that you got 26 though.. i've had just a few people who swear I don't know how to read my mileage gauge lol. Yes it IS possible to get 25 or more mpg in an Evo when you aren't running the hell out of it, or when you know how to drive to get good mileage.

getting tuned at a shop will get you more HP yes. You can get the AP and have it protuned and I think a lot of shops are starting to work with AP's now. If you just get it tuned that's good, but if you want to go back to stock you have to either drive to the shop and have your ecu flashed back to stock or mail to them to have it done. If you get an AP and have a protune done you can ALWAYS have that tune and flash it back whenever you want along with having the ability to flash to fuel econ mode, valet mode, disable vehicle, etc. There are just many more options with the AP IMO.
