I dont want to be a downer, but when I went to transfer my Stage 2 + SF Intake 91 it says map failed to download to AP (uhm)

Edit: I ran the AP updater before I tried to transfer the maps, does the updater update the firmware or do I have to download something separate? Thanks

The AccessPort updater will update the firmware to the latest version available. When you hook up your AP to your dongle, it will also update the dongle to a new version as well. Did this at lunch today. Are you using the accessport manager to transfer your maps ? The updater put some of the new maps on, but I had to download the 91 SF v104 from Cobbs site, and transfer it to my AP with the accessport manager.

im thinking for launch control setting it at like 3200 rpms. or 3k. gunna have to test it out

I thought in one of our cars reviews Mazda said to launch at 2900rpms. I found it.

The Mazdaspeed 3 is only a bit less tricky to launch than a space shuttle. Most of the runs up the drag strip vanished in excessive tire smoke. Or they deflated when the driver, trying to stanch the wheelspin, inadvertently cued the waste gate. Or grabbed the wrong gear with the spongy shifter. Calls to Mazda yielded tips: Pop the clutch at 2900 rpm, upshift at 6000 — redline is 6700 — and flat-shift through second and third (which means don't lift at all — the mechanical equivalent of dropping a Steinway on the clutch and half-shafts and violating our test procedure).

"Don't worry," the engineers said, "it won't break."
