well im looking for a lil more juice from this 12A motor. i like the power now. but i wanna upgrade the ignition & all to it. however, this engine has over 150k miles which is the first i have seen. but this is also my first rotary engine car. maybe if i could get at least 120-150 hp ill be fine

With a modified Nikki carb, a good header and K&N air filter my 12a was dynoed at 128 rwhp which is about 150 at the flywheel. At this level of output the stock fuel pump copes as long as the fuel filter is not clogged.
Until the header/exhaust system is upgraded, any carb modification is a waste of money.

You already have the right advice. Fix the header exhaust system first and drop in the K&N flter and clean the existing carb without stripping it down.
Paul Yaw knows what he is doing and wll build you a 100% carb. But many rotary tuners can produce a similar result by modifying your existing Nikki carb. It will save you much time and money getting it done locally!
The critical point is the mileage on your engine. You are right in not seeking more than 140bhp- that will still give you a 1/4 time in the 15s. More power equals more wear and stress. The header/exhaust mods will get you 120-125 hp and modifications to your carb costing around the $200 mark will get the rest. Read some of the threads on the carb mods, Sterling had some good information.

yeah im trying to learn on this car as much as i can. i know the rotary can gain alot of power with little amounts of money. so i may just do the header & clean out the existing carb to see if that will help with the air flow. another thing i saw was someone mentioning k&n. i checked out some guys site & he made a custom cai for his 7. so i may do that.
