Ah, you're too kind, Bryan. 
v30 was a true community effort, with gazillions of hours put in by a large team of beta testers.
But, if anyone feels so emotionally overwhelmed by the giddy awesomeness of v30 that they simply cannot resist gifting their hard-earned, my PayPal-able address is:
raxpatch {at} gmail <dot> com
As a bonus, you can email me on it too! Incredible!
Cheers,
Rich
PS. all donations received at this end will go to the "Hey honey, can I purleeeeze flash my SST to get S-Sport mode?" campaign fund! I think I'll need Obama-esque levels of funding to get THAT one over the line with my other half, but you never know.

Thank you for all your hard work on this version Rich!
So the blind test results came in last night (stuff came up on the past few weekends) -- v3.0 (with modified maf scaling) compared to 30.006 (also with the modified maf scaling):
Throttle response - the difference is very noticeable. Going from light throttle to a bigger throttle opening or no throttle to a bigger throttle opening is much more immediate. Especially in the cut-and-thrust of daily driving in Auto Normal, it is a significant improvement.
Engagement off the line - I don't mean for racing but just from a red light with normal acceleration, 30.006 sometimes felt like I was in a car with a high stall torque converter, whereas 3.0 provides much quicker engagement. Bear in mind that the behavior of 30.006 was in much higher ambient temperatures than last night but in the blind test it was still noticeable.
Other SST behavior - Both pros and cons. Compared to 30.006, 3.0 provides much smoother shifting both in Auto Normal and Manual Sport; 30.006 would provide some serious jerks and clunks when slowing down to almost a stop then accelerating again but 3.0 does not. That being said, coming to a full stop, 3.0 provides more audible clunking but it is definitely heard and not felt (30.006 on my car would clunk AND jerk in the same circumstances...and for that matter, the stock tune would as well just less so than 30.006).
Overall - There is no reason NOT to flash to 3.0! The immediate throttle response, better perceived clutch engagement in daily driving...it all adds up to the RA being immensely fun and a more engaging drive. The previous flash provided greatly increased power and engine response but the improved throttle response makes that much more of a difference.

I've just received a copy of a 2012 AUS/EDM Ralliart ROM. Its ROM ID of 56950008 means that owners of these vehicles should be able to use the 2011 AUS/EDM Base Map (ROM ID 56950006). 
If you're new to this and are unsure about your factory ROM ID, use Golden's ROM Check facility to reveal it.
For reference, here are the Base Map ROM IDs...
53610010 - "2009_RA_AUS_EDM..." *
53610013 - "2010_RA_AUS_EDM..."
56950006 - "2011_RA_AUS_EDM..."
53600009 - "2009_RA_USDM..."
55590006 - "2010_RA_USDM..."
56940007 - "2011_RA_USDM..."
58030005 - "2012_RA_USDM..."
* This one is an anachronism. If you're still on 53610010, you should upgrade to 53610013. Note that Bryan's "TBE" and "TBE+AEM" tunes aren't available on 53610010. Just use "2010 AUS/EDM" ones.
We've found that ROM IDs with the same first 4 digits are happily interchangeable.

Benefits? I guess that there are TBE and TBE+AEM base maps on 0013. 
I did find one Mitsubishi bug fix... the 53610010 ROM never read the SST fluid sump temp correctly. I log that item for sake of interest. On 53610010, it was always flatline zero, but 0013 works properly.
That won't mean much to most people, but it does mean Mitsu's "TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING" warning message will actually work on 53610013. But you'll only see it if your vehicle speed exceeds 150km/h, lol. A weird safety message if ever there was one!
When it comes down to it, you're welcome to stick with 53610010 as long as you don't need TBE/AEM tune.

There hasn't been any S-Sport "tuning" done on the Base Maps.
As far as SST goes, the Base Maps are designed for (and tested on) Ralliarts with original programming, factory clutches, Diaqueen SSTF fluid, etc.
