Are you happy with your Rx8?

you cant "chip" an rx8. you have to get it tuned.. Bolt ons help a little bit but if you want a lot of power you need to go FI

I meant basically using a Cobb map.

Dustin-- do a 20B half-bridge swap.

Not reliable enough, and the gas mileage would be killer. The engine swap has to be focused primarily on reliability. I could do a streetported 20B, but honestly I like the idea of doing a RE swap instead, keeping boost levels low, and have a tune for cruising that allows for better highway fuel economy. Not to mention cost.
