as for the stock apex seals being good for a lot of hp, i see what you guys are saying, but you have to understand not everyone can have perfect tuning all the time. it's good to have a safeguard against detonation just in case. it's like saying if you tune a turbo piston engine right there's no point in upgrading to forged pistons and rods. if this is indeed a stronger apex seal (although that's still to be decided) then i want it.

weight so they spin higher rpms! please do not compare the inferior piston motor to my beloved rotary! but the way the ceramics are 3 times as expensive as the mazdacomp ones

Ray you are the ******* man!
As a matter of fact you all are. Anyone running over 1.5 bar and spraying is my idol.

**** !! , ........ I already bought the HURLEYS so I will use them and try to compare performance , I also like the additional safety factor ( no internal damage ) introduced by these seals .

who is a good tuner? I live around dallas is RP any good as far as tuning? I 've been to 3 drag wars and i have never seen the rx7.com car make it down the track, I'm not putting them down but that makes me wonder about their tunning capabilitys. other then that where is a good place to rebuild a motor?
