Cool!

Did you just get back from a drive? What boost did you run?

I guess you got your battery recharged...

I do believe that he was joking about swaping the engine to a LS1.

Now why would you want to go and ruin a perfectly good rotary powered 8000 rpm steed with a damn V8? I've seen what the V8s have to offer---from my rearview mirror

Hey...yea I just got back from the City and on 580 I set my boost to .81 and went to 8K in 2nd and threw it into 3rd to 6600. Damn this thing pulls hard!!!

Cant wait to take it to the track.

Yea I called my roommate to come over and jump my car. I think you are bad luck, 7 months ago, you and I go for a ride to show you my mid pipe and almost get busted by that camaro cop. A month ago we dyno our cars and well..you know....and yesterday I talk to you on the phone for an hour and I leave the keys inmy car and run down the battery....

werd, that's exactly how it is in my buddy eric's car. Get higher in the RPMs and the car starts to freight train.

yea for the first 500 miles I kept it under 5K RPM for various conditions. Then at 500-1000 miles I would take it to 6500 RPM or so with various boost. at 1000 miles Rick got rid of the dyno juice and tuned the power fc. I have 2500 miles on my car and its only been about 3-3.5 weeks.

I have to say the new motor is sweet. ported engines and midpipes are the way to go, hehe.

man it's a v8 people. you see, that's why he bashes v8's so much -to throw us off, but he really knows v8's own, and has gone and snuck one into his ride. yep, i figured it out!
