Above 7200, you really want to see 12.5:1.
There isn't any power really going a point leaner.
The race teams that do that do it to save fuel. They can afford to sacrifice the motor to some extent and have open exhausts, intakes and nothing out front but a rad.

Updated the AP Manager software and all is fine. The error had prevented the AP from talking to the laptop, so it wasn't completely meaningless. As it was, I didn't follow the instructions and forgot to update the AP Manager software first. Oops. The firmware update is good, the Fuel mileage stuff actually works, as does live data when turning off/on the car. All is good.

just updated the firmware and here is what i think
-i could not figure out what cobb meant by the "shift light" function. theres no new readout in live mode for it and i dont know where it is.
-the fuel economy was saying i was getting an average of 15 mpg, i dont use that mode anyways so it didnt really matter to me. nice to know its fixed though.
-i thought this update would let me turn the car off while it was in live mode (turn car off, cancel out to main menu, unplug AP). when i did that and tried to go into live mode the next time i started the car, i got a connection error just like before the firmware update.
-im glad the live mode was moved so that it is selected right when the AP starts up!

my STFT is at 0, the basemap was not, it's now at 0 with the correct iteration. I have tried moving into the next iteration in the same direction of the original and STFT is no longer at 0 and WOT af is still the same.

Tailgaters beware
MM, glad to have you back It was a quiet week without you.
Should I run my car with the stock cats and catback exhaust for an optimal tune to be setup, or should I put the 3" catless mid-pipe back in then do a EFIdude data log and send it to you?
I prefer the sound with the cats, but if the catless setup will be a lot better than I can go back to that.

With cat-less I always drove with my windows up although I did like the flame show.

if you're NA, going catless isn't worth it.
The only thing I'd watch for is if the cat dies on you and starts to clog the exhaust. But it should be apparent if that happens.

Lol, or the loser that is driving next to your cat-less RX-8 trying to use the cell phone
Thanks mysql, I'll keep the cats in until they are dead. Similar to an old woman in one of Florida's finest trailer parks.

Jeff. I just finished trying the Pettit v2 maps. The closest the v1 maps could get me was -20 STFT. The closest the v2s could get me was 20 STFT. Think it has something to due with no CAT being present??

How long do you have to drive around on a newly loaded map to really know if your car is testing better on the Butt dyno?
I got my AP today, I used the -4% trim and was between -2/+1 at idle. I drove it around my neighborhood for about 15 mins, then went on a 3 mile trip and accelerated a few times, in the high revs @ 6000+ it felt slower and I felt a surge of power for a second but mostly bog. By looking at my AP the AFR was around 12.9 in the high revs. I'll have to do a Data log to be sure because the Cobb has a half second or so delay, but it looked to be in the 12.8-13.6 range mostly.
