Even if the entire honeycomb is made of ceramic, it will out-gas all of the catalyst binder after sustained 2000° active loads.
The rhodium/palladium/platinum will just go out as dust.
I suppose someone out there could make the entire CAT honeycomb out of palladium.
That would be one really expensive CAT.

What makes you think I used any low cost solution? I used literally just about every CAT made for the RX8. From random to bonez to steelcat. I shipped my car to Florida to have it tuned by Scott, and pimped the mazsport Type I. What makes you think I do anything cheap or without quality parts?

Yep, and i can't tell what the deal is, because it begins to ping.
Ever since I moved to Coral Springs here... I donno, local gas stations must be getting their petrol from different distributor... So pretty much I run it as aggressive I can get it.
Hmm, just for kick and giggles, next time I am in West Palm on an empty tank, I'll fill up, and try to get it more aggressive. Curious, how much I can get out of it?
I remember, last year sometime, I posted my ignition maps, and you were like "WOW gas must be nice down there..."

I changed it to be closer to what you suggested (split wise), and advanced the ignition too by about 3 - 5 degrees overall. No pings! noticeably more responsive, even the sound changed and became more aggressive. Will try a little more tomorrow. +2-3 more maybe..
Thanx for the tip.

Be careful with the split.
You don't need more timing that 5° - 9° at 6000 RPM and full boost. 12° is probably the maximum on shitty gas.
Just keep the split at maximum (15°) there.
You can, up to a point, make more power by reducing the split - even to zero - but you have to be real methodical in getting there.

I am leaving the 6K area alone at the 8 degrees at 10 PSI, but I advanced some more 2000 - 4500 rpm, and everywhere else in boost.
Yes, to be safe, I pushed the split up to 15 at 5.5-6K for now.
Somehow I always looked at the t_gap screen from a different angle. I thought it works the opposite way.
ooh well, I am still learning.
