Question Plug Wires and ECU UpGRADE

What's up guy's I'm new here. I bought my lancer alittle while ago and I have 6500 miles on it. I have Cat Back Exahust from my local Exahust shop and a custom Air intake with a K&N filter. I also have the RRM K-bar install and some 18's. My question is what kind of wires would be good to improve my power alittle bit. I would like to keep my warentty valid and get as much power as I can out of it. What about ECU upgrades? I havn't been able to find any. Any advice would be appriciated.
Thanks

Marcus

JET has an ECU upgrade, they claim it will give you 12-14 h/p, but you have tp pull your ECU out and ship it to them, they upgrade then ship it back. One thing though is you HAVE to run high octane gas for the upgrade, and the price of gas now-a-days sucks! There is a thread in here about the ECU upgrade, it's in the "US Lancer (ES, LS, OZ) Tech Forums" under the "Engine Tech" heading, you'll find some feedback on the upgrade there.

why don't you just run a RRM piggyback ECU? it would be a lot easier, quicker, and more beneficial than having your stock ecu reflashed.

Reflash is better. They can do more, like change the rev limiter, timing, etc. RRM piggyback is just for the fuel.

To my knowledge, no one does it at this point.

Contact Dynaflash, perhaps?

I hope to see Works come out with a Brain Flash for the Lancer application in the future. I haven't heard any hard info, though.
