Only place to go is Ralph at Ground Zero in Portland. Someone else on here can get you the number.

Yes portland! go ahead try going to someone up here, they will blow it up. ralph is the only guy in the NW with a true 700hp RX7, he knows his stuff, and to go to any one else is risky and a waste of time.

the only one I would trust is Ralph, especially with PFC... He is no longer with ground zero though.

www.xcessivemotorsports.com <- email him and he will get back to you.

How come nobody mentions his 1200+hp supra?

Because a 1200+ HP Supra has nothing to do with tuning a rotary. I thought he quit Xcessive again and went back to Ground Zero was the last thing I heard.

Oh... you're right, a 1200 hp supra isn't even worth mentioning. Anyone could have tuned that stupid thing.

Maybe you dont understand, there are ALOT of dyno tuners that can make shitload of power on piston engines.

A guy that can tune a rotary for a shitload of power is ALOT different than some piston tuner. Since this is a rx7 forum, and the guy still has the 13brew in it, all he needs to know is that the guy can tune a rotary well.

nuff said.

Being a tuner myself I am very aware of the knowledge it takes to tune a rotary, I just thought it was worth a mention... Except for the split timing and staged injection tuning a rotary is exactly like tuning most piston engines. The staged injection is easy and most so called rotary tuners dont even mess with the split timing due to a lack of understanding. In fact ralph's car doesn't even run split ignition.

Considering your investment who are you going to have do the tune? Ralph has tuned alot of PFC's. Take the drive south.

I'm impressed with 1200+hp in a supra. Sounds like it's so easy, every supra should have 1200hp. I know I haven't seen any of them.

Their supra is really bad ***. I have looked it over when it was in a trailer down in CA, and i saw some pretty cool stuff. I like the custom phonelic style box between the head and turbo manifold, and its stroked way up to, which is kinda rare to do on the 2jz's. Defenitely worth mentioning, thanks bad2nd gen.
