500 H.P. Single Turbo Package at the RX7 Stores. Should I take the big plunge??

Greetings all,


Well. I have some money to throw away and I am
wondering if someone got this kit from the RX 7
stores. Jason ask $6310.00 US (Ouch!) and that
include the power FC with a front mount intercooller.

You may see the kit at:

http://www.rx7store.net/turbokits.htm

They claim 500HP. Do you thing its possible?

Please tell me what do you thing.

Serge

Actually.... on XS's site.. there is a dyno of 503 HP with the T04S kit....

That dyno was the subject of a pretty good debate a few months ago...

Pete is now pushing somewhere north of 580 rwhp without NOS.

He ran a 10.6 sec 1/4 mile. He got to the finals and raced against Ari. I am sure Ari was sh!tten his pants. By the way, Ari runs NOS.

Too funny!!!

I know the setup that I was running was capable of close to 500hp if the boost was cranked up. Problem was I couldn't rely on my motor for more than 5 weeks before it popped again so it never got to see that kind of number.
