My guess is the magazine has a new advertiser and they wanted to give them some good ink, or keep them. 800rwhp? Please, these must be the same kids that added 80hp to their Mustangs in the early 90's by adding a K & N filter.

So, engine management is a fuel pump and a regulator?
SWEET

Oops just noticed the first post said Microtech..

I guess if you bump up fuel pressure to 150+ psi those injectors would be large enough :P

Aw, come on.. all we did was call his bluff. There are plenty of experienced tuners here on the forum.. What did you expect when someone makes our community look stupid?? I'd be on his side if he said he made 500... but he's making the claim of 800, not us..

See? This is what I sorta thought upon first reading...

I've been on the board for awhile, and I seriously don't remember too many people running a 300 shot of nitrous on a 13B-REW, plus alot of the modifications weren't adding up to equal 800HP.

But I'm not entirely knowledgable about tuning, so I was unsure as whether it's possible to actually get that much HP....

FYI, it's a 300HP shot of nitrous, so he'd have to be making nearly 500hp with the motor alone....I dunno, I just thought he'd have been heard of on RX7club since this is pretty much THE place for RX7 news.

One thing I don't like about Super Street, is that they NEVER have dynos for the cars they have...it's always just what it looks like, and then there's an estimate of how fast the damn car is. I wish they would drop that Rikdaddy guy(cuz he's always talking about himself or his gf, but never anything useful) and start posting some good Dyno numbers with their cars.

This is the main reason why I never read all those "import tuner" magazines...it's a word known as "credibility". They all lack it to varying degrees.

kinda off topic, but what is a good magazine to read? i dont really like superstreet anymore so i canceled my subscription to them, i was thinking about modified. i dont want everyoen to think of me as the tuner *** teen that likes to cut up magazines and hang pics on my walls. i just like to read about cars and learn things and how to do things and stuff like that. i think i can learn about everything there is to learn about rotaries on here if i look enough! just the other cars i want to learn more about too. is modified mag a good one?

That guy is retarded. who would want an FD that you couldnt drive?
Well, actually, he might be able to make 1 pass down the strip before the whole thing becomes vaporized.
BTW, what kind of front bumper is that?
