Yes, permanent.
Feel free to cross post the info after things are all figured out.
Also:
Within a month, I'll have my JDM map sensor and evoscan cable. I've already been tuning my car with the cobb accesstuner race software and modifying my mivec maps. Once I have ecu controlled boost, I'll then tune via data logs and evoscan (or ecuflash... I haven't decided which). It's worth noting that Cobb AP does datalog, their software is locked down and I can't add the extra entries in their libraries or my rom to get it working through their software (for ecu controlled boost with the evo IX).
Bottom line:
I no longer need the accessport. I'm considering selling it, and would rather get rid of it locally if there is any interest at all. I have been very pleased with the results of running the cobb OTS maps with the JDM mivec map. The car didn't seem to pick up anything on the very top end with the mivec map, but its a whole other story on the low end. The car spools more quickly, has a noticeable amount more low end torque, and has far better throttle response (less bog). THIS IS NOT A FS POST. I wont even be ready for a month or so. If there is any interest though, hit me up and we can talk about options, and see if its a good fit for you.
I want to say thanks to gear head for always answering the questions I have. He and criptballer and a few others have really helped point me in the right direction from time to time and I cant thank you enough. I'm not even close to being able to say I know how to tune my car, but after many hours of reading and tinkering, I can say I am finally able to wrap my head around most of the concepts. I'm eager to see what results I can produce once I'm able to look at the data logs. I've already monitored AFR's just by "eyeballing" it to make sure nothing is running dangerously and it's all very safe. I've also identified points in the fuel maps where the car simply runs pig rich. Basically, I'm slowly getting it, and its really rewarding. Much gratitude, gentlemen.

Well ... the first weekend of July there is the "Cache Valley Cruisin" which is close to a California Muscle Car show. A funny part is I can spot a ton of rock and ice chips on the paint a mile away. Its quite fun to see a lot of Barry White lookalikes.
Another nice part is you can get to know all of the undercover cop cars that main street cruise night and if you're really lucky, you can get pulled over by a bike cop. If you want to run that night you'll have to be on a fairly small motard (I'd suggest a KTM250 supermoto), or in pretty good shape on a Bianchi pedal bike.
The last nice part is the band "America" is coming to play. For us musak connoisseur types that band is awesome and expect some medical stuff being smoked.
And ... oh ... I live there so its all just awesome.
I do think my butt dyno is the best tuning element to date. Perhaps I should tatoo a Mustang on it.

... I'm going to make that part of my sig. 
Just for ANYBODY that doesn't know by now, THERE WILL BE A CRUISE TOMORROW FROM PARLEYS CANYON TO PROVO CANYON. FOR MORE INFO SEE ONE OF THE LINKS POSTED IN THE PREVIOUS PAGES OF THIS THREAD.
there, now nobody can say, "oh i didn't know about it".
