Racing Beat - ECU Development
I noticed they added this to their website :
ECU/PCM Reprogramming
Status: Phase one of this project has revealed very modest performance gains - work is continuing as time allows.
Disconcerting. I hope they are able to crack more of the code and give us some good gains.

Why not just ECU replacement? We need something like THIS:

It has already been discussed at lengths why a stand alone ECU will not be a good choice for the RX-8. The RX-8 ECU controls more functions than just the motor. You would only be able to do a full stand alone ECU if you are making the car a race-only vehicle. Also with stand alone ECU's you lose OBD II thus won't be able to pass emissions either. the 93-95 RX-7s were made before OBDII was introduced in 1996.

It would be so nice to have an updated ECU program whereby you can push a few buttons to do what you want the car to do at certain times i.e.
Button (1) Stock ECU State
Button (2) Quarter mile racing/Steet racing (Pick up concentrated)
Button (3) Auto x
Button (4) Pure economy mode
I guess this is too much to ask for.
