BigBike,

Were the engine compression test results good? Usually you pay a slight premium for a rebuilt - low engine miles rx-7 (with good compression) or buy a dirt cheap rx-7 and do the rebuilt yourself for cost savings.

If so, then I'd look at getting the 60K service (tuneup) and fuel injector cleanings.

When you say no power can you be a little more specific. Is it accross the entire RPM range?

well its just lack of power on high rpms it studers too and first starting gear even a 4 cylinder will beat my car cause it slow on starting even if it picks up speed i went 100 mph but it took me awhile to get there my foot is on the floor and it seems like it dont want to pass 100 mph

Clogged Cats is most likely your culprit. Yank the cats, pop in a downpipe and a presilencer/midpipe or a high flow cat.
