Saabguy,
I'm with you, I would stick with the stock engine in your RX. Too much trouble to put a rotary in anyway. Plus they are so unreliable. And you are constantly setting the valves too. Plus I have heard that the finekin pins go out frequently, which of course you know can be very dangerous!

Speaking of valves, I am thinking of getting a high performance cam for my REPU with an 86 rx7 N/A motor in it. Any suggestions which cam to get? I want lots of power but I want it to still be streetable.

**** man, you beat me to it

I was thinking maybe some aggresive cams, race valves and springs, and then adjustable gears to move my powerband up to 7500-8000rpm...

....hmmmm, come to think of it, my powerband is already at 7-8K rpms
