The not-so-offical EVO 9 ECU tuning thread
Trust me when I say that I'm not to the point of wanting to trade my car in for a new '06 Evo 9. That would be pointless. I love the 8's and everything about them.
My point is that the new 9's have a really nice head start as opposed to the 8's, and that's great. It just inspires a little envy.
Heck, I'll likely be getting an Evo 9 turbo or Buschur 20G9 anyway!

Update:
We put another 400 miles on the car yesterday (back and forth to sacremento twice). The car performed flawlessly. The pull in 5th gear at 4500rpm is outrageous. Anywhere above 3000rpm, there is quite literally no perceivable boost lag. And with power building all the way to 7200rpm, there is a huge amount of useable power band. Right now, flywheel estimates are in the 350-360bhp range. We have some additional partial throttle MIVEC tuning we want to do today. After that we'll install the exhaust and see what we can ring out of it. And then back to the SMOG station.

The ~360bhp the car is currently making with just a ECU remapping on 91oct tells you just how deeply we are getting into this ECU. There are a lot of little nooks and crankies in there where hp is being hidden
maybe a dynojet
