Adaptronic Tuning- Who can really tune it?

Hi all......its been a few years.

Im ready to sell the RX-8 after letting her sit for 2+ years. I haven't had the $ due to planning a wedding and grad school/wife/work/life/house/etc. taking over.

The issue I've had is that we could not get the car to run correctly over 6k rpms. Depending on the price, I may give it one more shot with tuning the car. Im looking for reputable tuners here with experience with the Adaptronic Select. Depending on cost and location, I could also trailer the car to that location for hand on as I understand its hard to work with something that has had many hands in it without visually seeing whats going on.

Anyone have a good lead to help? Thanks!

Unfortunately it is still hit or miss and most who claim they can, cannot. At least not an RX-8 anyway. I know the Modified magazine car for example, tried it and ditched it. Others have had lack luster results as well. A few (turdblown, etc.) have claimed that they got good results from it but they are just trying to sell it, because most who I talk to who actually owned the cars never really had the cars running right, there was always some sort of problem that was not able to be addressed. Turdblown is good at bullshitting about the results they get.

My tuner, Steve Kan, is getting into to the Adaptronic stuff so it may be something I look at eventually but right the Cobb is working fine so I see no reason to go to it just yet even though the Adaptronic does offer some nice features.
