Which Tune?

Post by Nor10 »

Hi everyone,
I purchased Versatuner last fall for both my sons RX8 and my car which at the time had a blown motor.
Fast forward to today and I have a rebuilt motor in my car (2008 Mazda RX8, 6 port 6 spd) with the following mods:

Mazmart REMedy Oil Pressure Regulator and Oil pressure spring shims to increase oil pressure
SOHN Adaptor and External Oil Tank
185 degree Mishimoto thermostat
Koyo Radiator
Air Pump Delete
Manzo Header
Agency Power Mid-Pipe
Turbo XS cat-back
Bennett Built Coils D585 coil set
Stock Air Box with K&N drop in filter.

None of the prebuilt tunes exactly match my set up. Was wondering which would be best for my car based on the above mods? Thanks for any advice you guys can give me, or if someone knows a tuner that could work with me for my car specifically I'd appreciate it.

I have a similar setup for components, I have flashed both versions 1.04 and 1.05. I feel the 1.04 with advanced timing is better by my butt dyno, I have only driven this one a few miles so far but seems to have some more jump. The 1.05 I drove for months before I changed coils and catback, all’s I had was a cat less mid pipe and I liked that a lot for the limited stuff.
