You have to do the manual or Hotwire tuning. It is not a plug and play system.

However, if you have the Hotwire, everything is programmable on 1 screen. Super, super easy. Then if you needed to do manual track tuning (throttle curves, etc..) the RX8 is pretty easy.

Oh, and timing makes a big difference in performance. I have mine dialed down to 8 degrees. Doesn't hesitate though like Bustafied's... I have the linear throttle curve selected, I just feather the throttle. Takes off instantly.

Bustafied, great race review. Personally, I would get the system worked out ALONE first, haha, before you show up at a race and figure it out in a main.
