I am curious about this too. I understand that evo's run very rich stock and tuning for more power usually involves leaning out the afr a bit. However, during daily driving, the ECU should be running mostly in closed loop where the afr is already very lean. Does a flash/tune change the setpoint for the closed-loop afr as well? Or is it that the throttle/load range for closed loop is pretty narrow on the Evo and even during daily driving, the ECU is often operating in open loop during mild acceleration that occurs when driving in traffic?

if you have an EVO cruise control = Your FOOT!!!!!!
