Thumbs up Finally have my 7 performing to it's potietial...

Just got back from having my 1994 rx7 tuned by a 3rd Gen genius. Steve Osley out of Hickory NC took one look at my engine bay and spotted several vaccum hoses connected wrong. He spent several hours on Saturday and by the time I got it back Saturday afternoon, it was screaming. I have never driven a car with that much power. With the mods I've already done to it, I can hardly wait for the "street Fights" at the Bristol Dragway to start in April. I hvae had this car for 1 year now and I am just now realizing it's potiential. HATS OFF TO STEVE OSLEY!!!!

I remember I had my FD for a year (stock) w/out a boost gauge and KDR noticed a torn IC hose - found out I was boosting 3 psi all that time - got it up to 10psi I was smiling all the way home

I think you ought to look into that Power FC before hammering the car - 3 mods on the exhaust, plus intake sounds like you're pushing your luck.

Yep especially since you don't have a boost controller to turn down the boost to safer levels.
