yet another good example of TUNING......

Well, I'd laugh, Tony, but HWO is incorrect.

Dale (who has a knock sensor, btw) was not detonating at all. The S4 rear iron has much less reinforcement than the S5 iron, and his was broken by sheer torque alone. The car was drowning in fuel - Steve Fooshee says it's more likely the damn thing would hydrolock than detonate from running lean, and Dale had made ignition timing adjustments (which I'm not familiar with, sorry ).

Keep in mind that we're talking about an engine that would absolutely roast hot sticky street tires from a 100mph 5th gear roll. Like I've said before, Dale's method isn't the "best", but it worked. Hoo buddy did it work!

I seriously doubt that... unless he's running some crappy 215's on the rear... I'm also curious of what you have done to your car? or is all the info your putting out second hand information that you have heard.. For the most part you are correct to a point that it can be done, but at what expense? a blown engine, wiring nightmare.. The dowl pin usually breaks the rear housing from tork shock and can be broken with not a lot of power, but a really agressive clutch so this doesn't mean he has that much power. He does have enough fuel for around 450-500 hp, but what %age is he running the AIC to? What fuel pump is he running?

Anyway, First investment you should do on any rotary car your planning on building is buy a good computer to run it.. Proper tuning alone will net you more HP with all the stock **** on the car. Then as you add parts you can tune it as you go... If you go with individual add on's it means more crap you have to plumb in to the stock harness and all the extra sensors that come with it have to get stuck somplace. This means there is more to break and more to go wrong and it makes it hell to trouble shoot problems... Spend the $, get the proper **** and you'll save yourself a lot of heart ache, your engine and a bunch of $ in the future...
