One of these days I really must meet the local crowd - all the BS and politics at SOCSA a couple of years back really turned me off...
Agreed - had my Forester XT tuned by Chett Meyer(ECUFlash) and all I can say is WOW. More power, more torque, stock drive-ability and a happier engine for less than what a Unichip without "tune" would have cost. Bargain!

Yeah, I've helped Chett out before with patching roms - he's one of the good guys.

Yep, I can't think of anybody else I'd trust locally, except for Pyro of course but they're a bit far.

How do these gains look for a NA 86?

I wish!
My un-modded 86 only made 180 Nm and 116 wkw on the same dyno back in April. Terrible torque dip between 3000 & 4500 rpm, as is normal on the factory map.
