I finally got my rwhp problem figured out and had Dave install a used differential and my hp jumped up considerably. These are the Stage 2s running sequentially through a HF cat at 15 psi. This sounds about right since one other dynoed at 386 rwhp at 15 psi with all the bolt-ons and a midpipe (stage 2s). I won't have a dyno sheet for a week or 2 but Dave at KDR just emailed me today. With conservative tuning, I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results. I also have unclipped wheels since I wanted more low-end power. Should be very streetable. Don't know a/f's but Dave usually tunes very conservative, around 11.1-11.2. Stage 3s should yield some more power especially setup non-seq like Stephen's car. Not too bad for twins at 15 psi and a HF cat. Will keep posted

nice #'s

That is impressive.

Very nice numbers Barry and all with no lag and even a hi-flow cat. Your car seems to be set up exactly how mine will eventually be.

congratulations man! You finally got some good out of that car

Thanks guys...and I know, it's been a while since I've had a car that has run 100% - it's been one thing after another..and this differential thing has baffled everyone - well, that was a $100 fix thanks to RTS3GEN for the used diff and Dave at KDR for figuring out why I was only getting 300 rwhp at 10 psi and 16 psi. - I decided to stay at 15 psi since it is running sequential and that is plenty of power for me on the street. With a midpipe and 17 psi I'm sure it would go over 400 but I'm happy with 370 rwhp and a MUCH quieter car. I'm curious to see my low-mid range compared to Stephen's BNR Stage 3s running non-seq with a midpipe. Can't wait to pick er up

Glad to hear some positive results Barry. Still wanting to sell it now? Who ever does get it will have a car in perfect running condition, a rarity on higher HP cars.
Post a dyno, I'd like to see the curve on it. I should be heading to the dyno soon as well, 99 spec's tuned for 15 psi, resonated mp. See how it turns out.

Gj kwik, glad to here you are happy with it, are you still going to sell it?

Damn that thing must live up there, Its been forever

Yeah, it's been up there for over 4 months - Dave gets the flu, 2 feet of snow, differentials that suck - **** happens...but I get to go from my 100 rwhp Saturn LS200 to a high HP supercar - it's going to take some getting used to

I talked to my wife about selling the car and I think I might hold on to it till atleast the end of summer. I thought the RX8 might decline the sales but after reading about some road tests of the RX8 - especially stacked up against the 350Z, I was pretty dissappointed in the RX8 numbers and handling. But since I got around the numbers I wanted I should be able to get decent money for it.

Hey Tim, at 15 psi with the 99s and a midpipe I'm sure you'll hit atleast 350-360 rwhp with conservative tuning - I hope you get more though - keep us posted

FINALLY!! wooo hoooo!!!

great numbers...have fun with the car...its gonna be a blast.

I will definately be ordering a set of BNR stage 2 or 3's when my stock twins go.

hey jason, didn't you have a dyno appointment sometime this month - I've been watching
I would think since you're running a HF cat that your numbers should be right with mine at 15 psi - now get those numbers - I'll get a dyno sheet soon...
