I wasn't sure if he was correct and gave him the latest TSB (from here) and he showed me on the computer that it recently was terminated. I still was hesitant so I asked him to call the Mitsubishi tech line and they confirmed there is only one flash that covers all X's now.

Newest flash covers stumbling RPM at idle, slow dropping of RPM, hesitation above 5k, high altitude and is supposed to lean the map a bit. I didn't get the TSB but I will try to remember it next week when I head up there.

I only have about 500 miles on the car so I didn't hit it to hard but I can tell the power band pulls much smoother to 5k where I stopped.

It's possible the dealer and Mitsh tech were wrong but not likely.

Seriously considering a performance reflash and playing dumb if ever questioned on it.

Oh, and will the stock clutch be able to handle the additional power?
