what would this 1993 run

Hello, I am new to this board and I had one question. What would a 1993 RX7 with a 3 inch downpipe, 3 inch catback, custom computer with 12lbs of boost, larger upgraded intercooler with upgraded piping, and a dual conical filter cold air intake system due in the quarter. I was just curious because I came across one the other day with the above mods and was curious what it would do in the quarter.

Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't think it would hit 12's without a midpipe. I still say low 13's.

I used to live in Oak Harbor as a kid....I used to eat at a place called the Knead and feed is it still in Coupville..? I say mid to high 12's...SPoauto ran 12.3's with the same set up except he had a midpipe but he had a stock intercooler....I would guess the car has 290-300 rwhp.

It looked like to me that is pretty much the M2 stage III setup. They get around 315 rwhp which figures around 350+ fwhp. That should be enough to get you into the 12's.

The knead & feed, never heard of that one. Oak Harbor is pretty much dominated by fast food now. I think there is every fast food restaurant imaginable in such a tiny town. You ever come back this way?? Gorgeous place to live.

That's some good numbers. The car may have a midpipe not sure. All I was told is that there was a 3inch downpipe and a 3 inch catback on the car. What does a midpipe replace?

The Knead and feed used to be on the water in downtown Coupville. I went to Broadview elementary and Oak Harbor Jr. High which was right down the street. I used to live in Kimball heights (5711). We sold our house but we still own property in Dougwalla Bay. Great place to live and grow up. I may fly back this fall...Btw: According to the RX-7 drag calculator the car should run 12.0 flat...(Rob Robinettes old site).

No I don't think that is there anymore. There is Captain's Galley and Toby's on the water. Toby's is a bar/restaurant known for its mussels. Drop me a line if you plan on coming out. There are tons of Hondas to terrorize out here due to the Navy base.

No sign anymore, probably flucuates too much with the Navy......I am not exactly sure, but I think it is around 20,000. I have only lived here about 6 months, though.

I tried snowboarding once last year.......the snowboard and I got into a fight and I lost. I don't know, it just didn't appeal to me. Sliding down a mountain with no brakes and the only way I knew to stop was falling down just didn't seem like much fun. I had a much better time setting in the lodge with a cold one in my hand. I prefer hiking around and just watching the ocean. I also enjoy just how laid back everyone is. No traffic, nobody stressing out over the little stuff.....just always calm. Go out to a bar and its not people trying to either pick a fight or outdress each other......its more relaxed than most places. Although it is a little difficult to find a single woman without a child around here. Must be something in the water.

Its good enough to get you into 12's, but you need to know how to drive it first. I said low 13's because with a "decent" driver thats what you will most likely get with a trap of around 110. Im no genius, but i figure my estimates are quite accurate.
