Make A Tuning Guide!
If you visit www.dsmtuners.com you will find they have the most usefull tuning guide! It lets you know what mods to do in what order and gives you places where to buy parts. It even has how-to's on installs for most items and product reviews of parts. This would be an advantage to visiting your website that I know many people would use and love!
Well, I'll respond for fun 
Evom has how-to's (a lot actually)
Evom has a product review guide (seperate from the forums)
Your actual upgrade path is up to you, there are many ways to tackle your car and the Evo is an expensive car with a variety of different uses, whereas the DSM community (I owned one) tends to be very cost objective and very oriented towards drag racing.

I actually sent KK a link to a forum thread where I wrote a primer on the basics that you should learn about if you want to learn to tune your car..
At some point I think he'll post it as a standalone thread or something. I was thinking of periodically writing updates for it..
It always seems to me like "tuning" or at least the basics of making power, is a "well known best kept secret" in other words, if you know what to look for, the information is out there. But it always seems like tuners are a little secretive about how they do what they do. I just never bought into that and share everything I work on and learn.
Tuning is a bit of art, and a bit of science.. and there's two aspects to tuning, the combination of parts, and learning to put them together in a manner that will help performance (not just throw a bunch of brand name parts together and expect it to work) and then refining the tuning of the ECU (however you choose to do it) to take best advantage of your changes.
The how-to section is great, and all of the other sections are great.. But I understand EXACTLY what you mean by a tuning guide. The only thing you really can't put in a guide is how to tune specific devices, but that could come later.
