MODIFIED MAG (front cover 20b RX-8)
had any body read that section yet?
how could they run to 11k rpm with microtech?
microtech only tunning run until 8k right?
it's safe? or just stupid?
hum.. it's hard to belive them.

Lots of conflicting info yes,
but remember this is the guy who half a dozen years ago had a 20B MX3 running low 7s making something like 1200 hp?!? Plus the 4-rotor drag truck they have now.
I have no clue what the real rwhp number on the rx-8 is, but it wouldn't suprise me if it is as high as I have heard.
Microtech can go over 8k as well.

Yes, and they are riding their drag racing success to dupe a lot of customers and post a lot of BS. Didn't this car was being listed as 800hp on eBay?

y is everything to u guys b/s. If any one those something on this forum that no one has done. It most be b/s. the magazine article says 950hp ( flywheel) that's y in the article it says 850. also about running the motor to 11000 rpm. we have been doing that for more than 5 years. when we were racing our pro mx-3 the car back then was launching on the 2-step at 11,000 rpm. That's why you balance the motor for. Also, just because the Microtech goes up to 9000 rpm it doesn't mean the motor wont. It just mean that you can only tune up too 9000 rpm. (one more thing) stock internals ont he motor, again YES i use stock mazda apex seals 2mm.
