Your supposed to reset your ecu after installing a new part so your ecu can readjust itself to the new air flow.

Custom intake + RX8 = potential problems if not done correctly.
Tube length, diameter, and screens installed is pretty important.
I honestly don't know AM Performance for RX8 mods so I'm not saying they're bad or inexperienced with RX8s

If the car was fine before the custom intake install, don't try to blame other components like the spark plugs.
Chances are... it could be the intake. Go back to stock and see if its better.

you have an intake leak.

Unmetered air is causing the ecm to richen the mixture.

The RX8 intake is a cold air intake from the factory.

or it is not installed properly and the air is restricted causing rich mixture.

best I can tell people do it for sound. The intake is already great and cold air. How much higher do you want it to sit lol unless you plan on putting in a roof intake...
