Well Hello Again RX7 Club!
Ok, let me just say that I've got no idea how much power my car has. I haven't been to the dyno yet and I'm running a mail-order tune on 18psi. Your guess is as good as mine.
The only thing to gauge my cars current power by right now are the facts that:
- adictd2b00st put down 425-ish WHP @ 15psi
- I pulled him good when he was @ 15psi
- adictd2b00st turned up the boost to 19psi, so he's obviously making more power now
- He kills me now, but I still keep up despite the fact my car weighs a good 600-ish lbs more
Who cares anyway, these are just fun runs between friends
Lets not "internet race" our cars here, lol.

thanks for chiming in Onyx; I certainly wasnt' trying to internet race (hell, I don't even street race). It just seemed like adictd2boost was taking a guess at your hp levels; I was just trying to provide a more accurate estimate given what the vast majority of sport 530 Z's put down. Thought I was helping out; I'll continue to just lurk around instead.
