Did this start right after the install of the Leads, Coils and Plugs?
What kind of Leads, Coils and Plugs did you install.

What does a dyno tuned engine have to do with anything? That confuses me?

Cold start issues I have had personal experience with
- Dirty ESS
- Bad Leading, Plug wire (lead)
- Maf disconnected

Hot start issues are typically compression.

Your 2003 RX8 came originally with a slower weaker starter.
Check to make sure you have the upgraded starter, it will help.
It won't fix your problem, but it will help start the car.
