Only if I can keep it from blowing up before I get out of the garage.

P.S. Does any one know how acurate the MAC dyno is? I have a feeling that it is reading a little high. Just seeing if any one else has had the same issue.

Their numbers are higher. Go to Dynopro. That's where I will be going when my car is done.

Good call. I don't think I will sell this year's build, but I doubt I will upgrade it anymore after this year.

Drinking over cars? No material thing should come before cars.

I am glad that you admitted that it's cheaper even though you won't convert to the LSX side! Maybe when you get a job you will be able to afford to have one of each.

Yeah i don't know. Probably won't be, but it won't be a slouch! 420-430 n/a and a 100 shot on top of that. Maybe a 150 hit for one pass

Just in case you want a reason not to go for the fastest FD in CO - mine will have a slightly larger engine:

edit: need to host the vid on my server...

Too bad the V8 won't be able to race in any import events anymore.

Here is an abbreviated version of it:

I could care less about import events. I just want to go the fastest I can for the cheapest possible.

Sounds like we need to change the thread to "Fastest Rotary in CO"? Cause if that's the case I got you all! Doesn't make it fair what I run but same theoretic value?

If every RX owner put a V8 of some sorts in their F?, weird they'd be down for the win...kinda pointless?

Everyone on here is still trying for fastest Rotary not fastest out of whatever. Just because you put a 2k small block with a whatever shot of spray how should that count? All that are trying, some have put everything they own into making their F? into what it is reguardless of how fast it may or maynot be!

I don't own any FD,C, etc... I've built an FD and slightly assisted in others. But I also recognize all the effort and $$'s that those have put into them! To try to be shamed by someone who's no longer willing to run a rotary is insignifiacant IMDO!

My take beat Mike, and if he's not the fastest this year then you have to deal with Marc. Both of which still Rotaries, not V8's. Still imports, and not some midlife crisis corvette conversion?
