Defined Autoworks did my car, plenty of 3 rotor's(N/A and Turbo), and generally many high horse power rotaries. Defined has a vendor section.

Imagine how many calls from dreamers people/shops like Banzai get. People looking for 550-600 HP are typically drag racers b/c that is the only place where that kind of power is of any use.

Hey, someone with some common sense. The noobs posting about "I want 500+ hp" around here gets incredibly tedious over the years (and they never have the $$$ to make it happen anyway, because it's not just the motor, EVERYTHING needs to be upgraded at those power levels, every single component on the drivetrain, brakes, and chassis).

To the OP: go drive a well sorted 500 rwhp single turbo 13b, and you'll see how peaky and unmanageble it is for anything but the drag strip or Texas freeway rolls. It's bragging rights, and that's about it. Most of them don't even run superior 1/4 miles times except in the hands of a pro like ErnieT. These cars are PLENTY quick (good enough to turn 11s) with 350-400 rwhp, and the power is controllable. The guys who track (roadrace) these cars also stay in that power range (aside from the fact that the engine is much more reliable). The guy who runs Rotorsports almost killed himself in a three rotor with 500+. These are light, nimble cars, and you can get in over your head real fast.

Let's get back down to earth, not fantasy land. This car gets into the hands of too many kids with more hormones than common sense, and it's sad.
