Wow,
4+ years and 30k
I have caculated several times what it would take to make my rx3 a 9 second car.
The key is DON'T calculate my car is still in the garage with a streetport 12a.

Super Great job 13B RX3
I will definitely be following in your foot steps.

Thanks
Rick

No, Cabrera told me i was crazy though. I have talked to him a few times and a friend of mine bought a 20B from him for his Datsun. I have never had the pleasure of meeting Freddy though i would like to.

Thanks man. Well it looks like it is going to happen so i might as well let the cat out of the bag. I am going to make the trek to Orlando and have Gaby Skern tune my car (unless i blow it up between now and then). I am really excited about it. I have talked to several tuners in the last year and he would be "one" of the best people for tuning this setup . I am really curious to see what she will do and i will keep you guys posted.

Hey Allen,
You won't be disappointed with Gaby. He tuned my friends car which is running on alcohol and he showed me the dyno graph and all I can tell you is that it was unbeliveable. He made 680+whp and that was with a hurt turbo. That guy is just amazing with what he can do with tuning.

The pulley setup came from tweakit.net.

Good to hear from you. I thought you dropped off the face of the earth!

I am sure Gaby will do an excellent job of tuning. I am more worried about the car though. I don't know what kind of abuse it will take or if everything is even correct.

Hey, you need to find a straighter road to tune. 0-6 foot times what? Keep up the great work, and lets lift those front tires.
