just clarifying the typo error
you want 2nd and 3rd wot not 3rd and 4th. I know you want 2nd and 3rd but just getting this possible question from some else out of the way.
12) Take your RX-8 to a safe section of completely open highway where you can get the vehicle up to redline in 3rd gear without being disturbed.
13) Bring the vehicle up to 3000 RPM in 2nd gear. (1st gear for the 4-speed automatic transmission.)
14) Press the "OK" button again to start the data-log and depress the gas pedal all the way to the floor.
15) When you hear the redline beep, shift to 3rd gear (2nd gear for the 4-speed automatic transmission) and continue to redline again, then release the gas pedal.
16) Press the "OK" button again. You have just created your third data-log of the engine's Wide Open Throttle performance.
Send an e-mail using THIS LINK, attach the three data-log files you have just created (one at idle, one at a steady cruise and one at WOT through (3rd and 4th gears to redline)) and provide the answers to these questions:
One more thing I am currently getting 32 mpg on the freeway with a afr in the upper 14's. I'll shoot video for anyone who doesn't believe me. I have to assume the AP is wrong??? tire size 225/45/18

2nd gear and 3rd gear are on two separate fuel maps.
Redline in 4th would be very, very fast.
Your average won't be as good.
You should get decent mileage once the calibration is complete.
Well, yeah. That is expected. We fix that next once we have the injectors/MAF set up.

weeeeeeeeee
iTrader: (12)
last sample for me:
city only driving - 218.4 miles using 14.136 gallons of gold - 15.45 mpg
Fairly consistent too. I get on the highway and keep her there and the numbers change dramatically, to the tune of:
highway only - 330.2 miles using 14.452 gallons - 22.85 mpg
stock 04 4AT - factory everything still, except my MM AP.

Jeff hard at work tuning on MY AP. Sorry folks. But being local has it's privileges.
Besides who else is going to lay is car on the line for testing?
Ray waiting patiently on some up dates for his.

The 701 is practically disposable, which is the right device for the environments in which I work.
Thanks for the thought, though!
I'm thinking about stepping up to one of the 900 series with the bigger display and larger SSD.

It probably came with a camera or something.
You can get it at Best Buy or Fry's Electronics or something similar.
Radio Shack probably has it, too.
It can be used just like the cable that came with the AP.

Ay.. I'm using the exact same cord Jeff is using. I got mine from a Sony camcorder.
Since my OBD2 port SUCKS.. I have to use a bungee rope thingy to hold up the obd2 dongle securely to the obd2 port, I had my AP OBD2 dongle plugged into the bungee for a few hours and it literally bent the original usb mini connector on the dongle.. so that cable is worthless now.
