Question for Cobb users

Actually, the MegaSquirt is probably the most versatile stand-alone and the most "tunable" option out there.
It is far from the most difficult (really, any flash tuner is going to be the "hardest" sine it has the largest array of ambiguously functional tables), but if you understand MS tuning, you are well on your way to understanding OE flash tuning.

I am also in the Market for a tunable ECU for the RX-8 and so far, the Cobb seems the best in price and simplicity, MegaSquirt for the latest version, will run ya like $700, Haltech like $941 and yes they can edit many many more parameters but that also complicates things greatly AND needs Dyno time if Yer not up to self tune it while driving around (which can be catastrophic to your engine if you don't know what ur tinkling with) Some things to keep in mind too is HOW FAR are you willing to push your Rx-8? Full race ready application? Or just want to make it a little faster with a Turbo or SupaCharger for a Daily Driver (which is what Im shooting for) Like I stated before I see Rx-8's on youtube Boosting 10psi (which is like the most you'll ever be able to boost with aluminum housings before ya melt them) with clean AFR's so if the Cobb is sufficient to tune up to a Turbo boosting that hard (Rx-8's round max boost threshold, WHY spend MORE money on a Standalone ECU and make it real complicated to get er done right..)

I suppose the Cobb is fully User Tunable but it is best to let the Masters at the Art tune it for ya. I will probably buy one soon for my setup. https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/rx-8-drive-train-starquest-214359/

Thx for info. I suppose I should go for the "Japan" version since my car is a JDM but how do I specify what I like to have in the program (such as, temp for cooling fan to cut in, delete speed cut) when buying online? Do I have a choice as to what "calibration" is available for my car? Sorry for the noob questions :-)
