Curious question.

Is there any way to make my 1986 rx7 go any faster when accelerating from rest? everytime im at a red light and try to floor it in a race i always go slower but once i hit 60-80 i can shoot to 130 really quick is there a part or anything that i need to clean or change in order to change this?

Well, first I'd suggest not driving at 80 - 130 on residential streets. I can only assume that's what you're referring to because they don't put red lights on freeways.

Something to consider is that the NA S4 FC only ever made 146HP from the factory, and wear and tear over the years means that it's probably considerably less now.

So, start with the basics. Full tuneup, make sure that the aux ports are working ( How To Test Your 5th and 6th Ports ), make sure your cats aren't clogged, etc.
