Can anyone get me up to speed on this thread please?
Nope, you will have to read it yourself!

So far I'm gathering theres a fix to the tach problem by using a CDI off of an older model and maybe a performance gain or something to boot.

There is a fix to the CDI problem, which in turn makes the tach display the correct info. Not just ANY older model, but an '88-94 version.

Not positive if there is a performance gain, but the engine seems to have regained the performance that was being lost by the '09 CDI.

Is this true or is there a catch?

True, the only catch is you need a wiring harness from an '88-94 to match the CDI! You also have to follow the wiring instructions posted in this thread.
