What about reflashes?

Hello everyone, I am new here, so please be patient with me.

I've been looking around in forums, including this one, for tuning regarding flashing with little results.
I have been tuning my Suby's stock ecu with flashes for some time now, but can't find any info around for doing the same on my recently acquired RX8.
I see Cobb has an AC out but only has a stage 1 map for it.
The other thing I keep finding is e-management, which right now seems to be what I will get.
Any advise or comments on flashing, or the e-management ultimate?

The AccessPort is the only practical way, at the present (others are in development), to tune the PCM. As BigRed said, you can get one for MazdaManiac and get his tunes. Or you can go to a Cobb tuner and have your car custom tuned with the Pro Tuner software. There isn't a Street Tuner version of the software available yet.

Okay, from what I briefly read from mazdamaniac, I thought he used the blue e-management to tune with. The AP sounds good initially, but nowwhere to grow into a better tune with correpsonding hop-up parts without a tuner shop with the software. I would like the ability to tune myself which the AP doesn't allow yet. Countless hours can go into tuning and testing. I have been waiting for the streetuner software for awhile and it isn't happening, you guys have any insight on this? Can a consumer purchase the protuner software?

The protuner solution is $1000/1500. I don't remember which. Kinda expensive.

Also, in beta testing, is Hymee's sCANalyser Pro Tuner

This has been in beta a coupe of months now and my make it to market before Cobb does with the street tuner option.

I think the street tuner software is going to be available in a month or so. It's worth the wait.
