Default mapecu tuning and install

been going through the forums and seeing mapecu pop up a bit with some of the experienced members. I was going to do a 75-100 wet shot but am debating not to anymore as me getting a daily driver is likely not going to happen. i just have a few questions on the tuning.
I do have experience with tuning as i had an apexi neo, wideband, and full software on my vq maxima which i tuned a/f and timing at the track.

1. would it be possible to tune the mapecu on a street tune? i do get a lot of time on a drag strip.
2. currently i have full intake and exhaust and notice the car is running rich without the cats
3. likely power i have seen has been around 20 hp but is that only for boosted cars?
i would be doing install and everything myself so i would also need t find the ecu wiring diagram i think i saw it in a post though

Isn't that the problem with these cars? You can't crack the ECU to tune them.

its not necessarily a crack, its just a change of signal to whichever sensors depending on what is trying to be done. from what i got from "06drivers" posts is that it helps manage boost better by pulling timing. i just dont know if once installed it start changing signals and make the car inoperable.
