texas tune
 

where is a good place to get a tune with an accessport near ft hood?

No where. You could try Cobb in Austin but i am not sure they will do a custom tune. Your best best is to get in on Mazdamaniac's live tuning if you can. Are you NA or FI?

i am looking at fi, i can go to dallas and such. i was using hood as a starting point. and no patience for mm tune

I would call Rotary Performance in Dallas.

I hate to sound like a fan boi because I am not and I understand your concerns with MM but the live tuning seems to be going smooth. If you want a solid reliable tune then really that is your best option.

The alternative to MM is a great dude named Kane but you would have to contact him to see if he is available as he has a day job.

Unfortunately you are taking a huge risk if you go to someone who does not have experience tuning the 8. Even experienced rotary tuners like turblown have used MM to tune RX-8's. My experience from most rotary shops is that they try and use tuning methods that work on RX-7's in RX-8 tuning and it just doesn't work.

Besides, you are investing a lot of money, you don't want someone learning or teaching themselves on your car

thats what is was figuring. i really want to turbo, but the hassle is just too much for me. i have decided that its not my best option right now. but thank you

Steve Kan is by Ft. Worth and awesome but expensive. stevekantuning.com

Does he do Cobb Tuning?

For sure. He had my car to learn on lol. I got a free tune for being the guinea pig. There is a thread where he got 208whp on a mustang dyno out of a boltons car and he has tuned atleast one turbo 8 (I'd bet way more). Nice guy

I got ~185whp with just mazdaspeed intake and jic catback. Mustang dyno and he said most dynojets read about 8% higher
