Default Tuning an EVO IX for rally.

Having joined the forums today, I've noticed that mostly people concentrate on tuning the car for 0-100 and 1/4 mile drags. However, what would you guys do/suggest doing if you want a rally capable car (preferably still a day car too)? Some examples would be great, and if anybody knows the requirements for different rally classes, I'd be happy if you can point me in the right direction.

10.5ish AFR keep it a little more rich than ideal for drag racing.

What about a flash? Would a standart flash such as Vishnu be still viable?

Can anyone clarify AFR, 10.5, Rich for me please? (I think I understand that it has to do with fuel/air mix... but aint too sure.) The thing is that it is going to be my first serious move from Go-Carting (Did it for a few seasons now) to rally. Need to learn quite a bit about cars, tuning etc. etc. etc. Sorry for being a newbie, but I learn quick :P

the stock Evo rins a 9.8. go search around man. All Evo AutoX tunes are around the 10.5-10.8 range. and ideal street\drag tune is only a 11.1 so its not much different
