I'm sorry to say this but you are deluded to think you could possibly get a whole second quicker 0-60 just from a tune (even if it was from a maniac) . You might gain 10 whp on a really good day just from the tune which will get you 3/5ths of f*ck all off your 0-60 time .

All of my mods are focused on flexibility, durability, and convenience. I was already perfectly happy with the performance of the RX-8; but I wanted to give it a greater indifference or resistance to mishap, since I plan to teach my 5 year old how to drive in it when she is old enough.
• BHR ignition coils
• Pirelli P-Zero Nero RFTs 245/40R18 (same weight as the OEM 225/45R18 Bridgestones)
• Rotary Rasp LED brake lights (faster warning to hopefully reduce my likelihood of being rear ended)
• LED 3rd brake light (same reason as above)
• Evans waterless coolant
Next mods:
• Griffin aluminum radiator
• Autobahn88 silicone hoses

Aux port. Easily my favorite mod so far, makes road trips much better.
As far as a performance mod, it will always be my OBX exhaust. The sound makes me happy.

rev it up
I enjoyed all my mods that I have progressively added over the last 9 years. The Hymee supercharger is certainly the most loved, especially for daily driving. Whenever, I want a thrill I simply floor the throttle and quick gear changes will see some tail wagging action.
Best single mod?

best mod...
well that depends on what you consider "best"
best for performance? realiability? comfort? price?
and what's the price range? sure some mods are better than others but, you may have to spend 10Xs as much
well considering that this is the performance section I'll base it on performance mods by price range
< $100 - good alignment...makes a world of difference
$100 - $200 - Progress Tech front sway bar...one of the best handling mods IMO hands down
$200 - $500 - Cobb AP w/ MM tune...helps realiability, car runs smoother and pulls harder
$500 - $1000 - Good sticky tires...no explaination needed
$1000 - $2000 - 5.12 ring & pinion...kiss your mpg good-bye
$2000 - $5000 - Forced Induction...I won't say anymore than that because I am slightly biased
$5000 - $10,000 - some big boy suspension...Motons/Penske/etc
> $10,000 - all of the above...oh and add a good engine build while you're at it
