I don't know what that is but if it's about car remapping, then I suggest OVT.

I thought OVT stopped Mazda?
Also I'm super new to this and cautious. It's a family car I need more smoothness and responsiveness out of, but at the same time don't have time really to tinker with constantly due to baby, new job starting up soon, n all that.

OVT / Rafael (in the Philippines) is a known quantity, and very capable with Mazda Skyactiv-G. In my opinion, the go-to Company.

Those popping flames! It seems exciting to have that. We just don't know how reliable will the car be on the long run.
OVT officially discontinued their support for Mazda but as mentioned, Rafael is continuing the work.

Would you say that's the better route over DRTuned? I was planning on going through DRTuned in the next month or two as I'm about done with all the work I wanted to get completed before my tune.

I can't say based on having had the tune (yet). My car is not currently on-the-road due to circumstances, but I can say without reservation - that that is who I will use . I have heard nothing but positive things, with the exception that a person has to be patient with return times. I'm still gonna go that route as I would not trust anyone with my car but with an experienced hand and a track record.

I can understand the line of thought on that. Is Rafael accepting new clients? I'm on track to start that process in 4-6 weeks finally.
Flushing my coolant and installing my CorkSport rear motor mount this weekend and that only leaves the tensioner, belts, and lightweight crank pulley once they are delivered (went with torque solutions on the pulley since it was $60 less and suspiciously the exact same specs).
Will you be monitoring temps or pressure anywhere? I played with MazdaTweaks and have a flash drive ready to load but am hesitant. The Speedometer tweak offers coolant temp and intake air temp but idk how accurate it is.

You email him, he sends you an invoice on Paypal.
Almost any OBDII app will be more accurate than you could need in a street car. If you really want a good monitor, get Forscan.

As for me, I don't think for my application I will bother with the engine monitoring. Normally I would want oil pressure and oil temp. But I won't be extracting enough performance out of my car to need them, I don't think. The Tune, for me, is for in-city drivability / lower regimes torque. One reason a person might like oil temp is to know or feel when oil is sufficiently at temp to allow you to get energetic with revs or throttle aggression...
