How about you search the aftermarket section where it's been discussed in depth?

Oh boy, I hope you have thick skin. You are going to get the usually, " To lazy to search and read the thousands of posts". Some people including myself will give you a straight answer.

I suggest the AP from Mazda Maniac. He will send you a veriety of tunes based on your vehicle/modifications. You will then try to out, monitor the LTFT/STFT A/F ratio (very easy to do) and then switch tunes as needed until you basicly have a custom tune. The racing beat is only a good safe tune that works well on all 8's.

With the AP you can also reflash your vehicle if you want to change your tune to a stage 2 or stage 3 (race) when available and then back to stock if you want. If you want to go FI you can use the AP and save money oer the cost of a stand alone. You can also read and clear cels.


Lastly, if you dont like it or dont need it anymore, you can always reflash back to stock and put it up for sale and be out very little money.

The Racing Beat solution was okay when the AP was not available. Now, it is not even a contest.

AP because you can change the map with your mods. Get it from Jeff! (mazdamaniac)

In deference to RB, they were the first to get it right.
That said, the question is a bit like asking "Which is better: A disposable razor or owning a barber shop?".

I had the disposable razor. I was afraid it would get disposed, so I bought the barber shop.
