RX8 - Need help writing a map

I have a 2004 Mazda RX-8 MT. I just bought a NEW Cobb Accessport for it. I have been doing a little research and found that MM does custom tunes. But, I don't have the cash to spend right now for his service. Can anyone help me out? Does anyone have any maps that would suite my car? I just wanted to put the Cobb to use till I can get a tune in a few months. I really need some help.

I haven't done much to my car but, here are the following upgrades:

Revi Intake system
Dual Resonated Midpipe
Ported Engine

Thanks for the comments....

the standard Cobb tunes are known to not be good for anything, in some cases bad so generally not recommended. It has to be custom tuned to get any real benefit

Ported, midpipe, and intake... You have done a bit to your car, and here are no canned tunes available that will do you any good. Accesstuner Race is ok for a DIY tune, but there are a lot of poorly explained tables and the ECU can't hear knock. If you really want to tune your car yourself then read every scrap of information on these forums. MM has some of the most informative posts and actual tuning experience but he also didn't distinguish between what he thinks and knows and some things he was most adamant about were completely wrong. You have your reading cut out for you.

Anyone who doesn't even know how to email the tune file definitely has no business tuning it on their own
