Just a thought. Tuning an REW swap with a Cobb AP?

I understand that the Cobb has it's limits and for that can understand a need for some sort of standalone. But in keeping the REW's power say under that threshold. Would it be possible or would the swap dictate a need for a stronger source of tuning? I was thinking of a swap similar to Cran's swap. But say in the 350-400whp range.

I tried looking to see if this has been covered but didn't really see a direct answer. If this has been covered than I apologize and will close this thread.

My 2 cents, 300-350whp can be made with the Renesis.
No sense in swapping a REW for that power level.

The problem is you'll eventually want more and then the question is will it be up for the task?

It's not possible to use the Cobb to tune a REW swapped car because you don't use the RX8 ECU to control all the functions of the REW. 300WHP seems to be the reliable limit of the Renesis with a good tune realistically. So if you are looking at 350WHp then you need to look at a swap.

That is true.

That is more the answer I was looking for. Thank you.
