Bryan at rotorsports does my tuning, perfect tuner and he tunes very conservative and for reliability. He sees no point in having 700hp, so I might have to get a race gas tune somewhere else.

I bet you got someone in mind!

Oh yeah totally forgot.

I JUST HIT A FUKN RACCOON... FUKN BASTARD. BUMPER IS TOAST. THANK YOU ROAD KILL.

RX7 - 1
RACCOON - 0

lol. Now I gotta get a new bumper, body work and paint before Deals Gap. Fugg...

Well the bumper is not aa bad as I thought. So its going in the shop Monday.

Flares and everything else was fine. I dragged that little sucker for a few feet, stopped and backed up to get him from under the car.

But as far as the tune, I just really want around 600hp. Hell at 394hp this thing is fast. Soon fellas I'm gonna get that magical number.

That pic in my profile is a generic pic that the forum has. I did have a pretty nice fc a few years ago.

As far as modding your seven, make a big list and have a plan. Money can go real quick when u start modding the car. Figure out horsepower goals, what the car will be used for, and hw much money and time you wanna invest iin the car.

For example; My goal was to have 600hp dyno sheet, do 10 sec in the 1/4, and have a highway beast. It is gonna be a cruiser with stereo, ac and full interior.

The first thing i suggest is getting the car back to a good starting point. New lines, hoses, cables, everything and anything that is old and brittle needs to be replaced. Then do all the reliability mods, change fluids, increase cooling, etc. Then go for power, ecu first, motor, turbo fmic, etc. Whatever.

I also see you mentioned a 12a in your next post. So its gonna be a na motor. So again just get all the 15yr old crap off the car and start from there. Every new part you put on the car will make it and you happy. Start small and complete one area at a time. SO if you upgrade th fuel system, focus on that... next, brakes, focus on that.... etc etc.

I did my whole car at once, and it was hell on my bank account. Best advice is enjoy the car and mod it safely as you go on..

ITBs, headers, and a nice bridged motor would be really fun if you dont drive the car everyday. Islander hit the nail on the head though. I have multiple lists (or i should rather say WISH lists). If you cant afford everything you want now dreaming is always fun till you got the cash flow.

Deals gap event was a blast! My first time attending and there wasn't anything better that I would've wanted to do. The car performed beautifully. Every car there was stunning, and every one who attended was cool. Met some really cool people and had a great time.

If you have never been on the tail of the dragon, all I can say is you better go. Amazing road, your car will love you for it. Lol

Nah, you got it correct (Mike) and thanks for the kind words. I am sure with your setup you will be pushing big numbers.
