Very interested to see the results, please post some high-res pictures of the exterior and engine bay once you get her home... Maybe even a dyno video if you're able to.

Have fun with her

Won't be back until Sunday afternoon or evening. The event is in Atlanta so it's a good 5.5 hours from Jax.

Thanks for all the comments. I've got the camera ready to go so I'll take plenty of pics and a few videos of the car being dynoed.

Tuning starts at 8 am on Saturday but I'm not going to arrive until 11 am or so. Don't know when my car will hit the dyno.

Are you trying to jinx me? Yes, it does sound too good. Kind of approrpiate to get the car back on Easter weekend, isn't it? The two year long project RX7 comes back to life!

Thanks for all of the comments and best wishes. I've got the camera ready to roll - results and pics to follow.

David,

Congrats on everything *finally* coming together - I've spent all my spare time in the last three days reading this thread!

My car is slated for tuning session with Steve on Saturday - I should be there about 11AM as well. Look forward to meeting you and seeing your car!

Best of luck!!

Mark, you are just *rippin'* through the usernames man

The power output makes sense, given the motor is 50% bigger wrt displacement.

Re: the torque curve, big turbo + small ports is what I'm thinkin'
