On what? The software?
As far as my issue goes, it chalked up to a bad maf. Been doing great. MAF is scaled, 2ndary injectors scaled, AFRs tuned a bit, and now tweaking VE table to get the tune right.
Car feels absolutely amazing.
If you haven't tuned before, holler at Kane (on the forums). He has been a great teacher.

Welp, i think we got there. Car has been tuned by Kane, and running so damn nice. No more of that hiccup at the upper end of the rpm band... acceleration is nice and smooth literally up to fuel cutoff (didn't mean to hit it lol). We even decided to get a bit OCD and try to get the VE corrected at 8500rpm lol (hey why not).
Anyway, can't thank Kane enough for all the time he spent with me. Learned a hell of a lot and the car just feels great. Not to mention some added protection thanks to some of the other maps that were touched.
S2 owners, proof of concept is here, 100% recommend giving Kane a holler after you get MazdaEdit. Well worth it.

I just want to make sure there's not too much missing in the Personal version.
I'm solidly in the learning / research phase so bare with me if the question is too noobish.

I've searched and attempted to find the answer, but haven't yet. In your opinion, can a successful tune be accomplished with the Personal version? It looks like map descriptions and hex editing are only in the pro version.

So I have mazdaedit and have configured it some to mask a midpipe which has been working great thanks to this site!! Now I'm on to wanting to tune my 8 with it, especially after prepping my car to be tuned. Replacing and cleaning sensors, intake, midpipe, big 3, ignition system, slight port and polish to the throttle body. I've been reading around and looking all over this forum and the internet for a maps file to compare my ecu to a like NA 8. I tried to start another thread seeing if some series II guys could share their mazdaedit config file but for some reason couldn't make a new thread under Series II tuning to do that. What I'm after may be out of reason really, I'm not too sure. But by comparing enough maps. I wonder if a simple baseline configuration could be established and shared via rx8club for others starting or currently using mazdaedit kinda like the cobb does. Is this possible!? Trying to follow forum rules and all if I'm out of line on this or posting in the wrong area I do apologize in advance.
Also from just researching it seems fuel trim is the way to go but again I could be wrong as I'm still trying to learn how to tune wo making any changes to my 8 because I lover her and do not wish to screw her over in some way.

honestly the only 'baseline' configuration that would really make sense would be an increase in the omp rate and slight decrease in fan-on temps. All other parameters would have a variant across cars in different areas, different mods, etc etc and would just add to the time taken to tune vs starting from your car's own factory base.

Use your "basemap" or OEM configuration file and modify it to get the results you want. The final result is heavily car dependent and so you need to tune your car. All the info on Cobb tuning applies...the only difference is the flash device...the maps you need to change are basically the same ones..and follow the same rules

He has tuned many series I turbo and Pettit SC RX-8's. I don't know that Steve has tuned any series II RX-8's, I highly doubt it. He is not familiar with Mazda Edit or the Adaptronic but is confident he can figure it out pretty easily. He will likley be tuning two turbo RX-8's with the Adaptronic soon.

I talked him on fb and if anybody will give him ME he can able to tune Series 2 i think. But i heard as you wrote he didn't try it on ME until if anybody give him the software.
