Your car should have come with 138 hp stock...so with those mods...mmm...maybe, 150 topps...but I could be wrong...I think this is covered in the FAQ's...maybe not... for I am only an exhaust leak.

what is the obsession with one dumb number. HP is only one indicator of a cars overall perfomrance. Frankly the drivers skill can be as important if not more important.

Have you properly tuned your car? If not do that first. You will be surprised at the change in throttle response with a real tune on the motor.

I don't think this was a 84-85 GSL-SE... that came with 138 HP... but a 86-88 non turbo RX-7 came with 146 HP stock, while a 89-91 non turbo RX-7 came with 160 HP stock...

Of course that is all in the FAQ for FC at the top of this section... Something that every exhaust leak should read before posting.

I totally agree with you Mr. Gadget....I'm looking for a little more pull when I go over 3k rpms.

Please search that topic. It has been covered countless times, but you will find that those only work on non tuned intake runner cars, not tuned intake runners (like our cars have). On our car you can expect about a 5-7 HP loss using one.
