From your post, you seem to be just starting out. There's way too much for you to learn for us to be able to just tell you what to do.
Read, do research, and read some more. Once you have the basics, then you can start messing around with the tune on your car.
Where in N. Utah are you?

do what i been doing, just keep hittin the advanced search, narrow it down to engine management forums, titles only, an start askin one word or 2 word questions

injector
1600CC
fmic

**** like that.. an just start readin, inside 5 minits u will have more questions.. open another tab an search some more, then when all else fails, bite it an ask. if my experience is anything to go by in the time it takes you to get a response you will probably find the answer by accident

uhh im not just starting out i have done simple mods and rebuilt my stock trubo just nothin like huge overhaul on rx7s. ive done supercahrger builds many of times on other tings but nvr the tunes. ive ownd 3 rx7s now over 4 year period so kinda konw em pretty good. but ya i wanna go wit a bnr stage 2, FMIC, 1400cc secondaries or bigger and 720cc prims and full standalone..... u think racing beat full turbo back exhaust will be sufficient i want to run low boost mayb like 15lbs tryin to make like 280hp but i really wanna get torque numbers up..... wat kinda port job should i do?

Wow! That was a lot of info in that last post. Multiple wants and multiple questions. Do like TalkSick said and ask simple straight forward questions. Its easier to answer and you are more likely to get a quality answer. Now to some of the questions. I am coming to the end of my GT35R build and can tell you what I have learned to this point. I built my setup on paper first, I researched for several months before I bought my first part. I think you have a good idea of where you want to be as far as horsepower, now you just need to research what will get you there. I have found a link on this forum that shows DYNO graphs with associated mods. This will get you the rough setup. Pick a standalone, if you pick PFC read the owners manual, get a datalogit, get Chucks notes, and get a wideband. It will take a while to work through all the parameters that can be tuned and how it changes the cars tune. I have been studying the PFC for about 4 months and feel that I am about 25% of where I need to be. Your fuel requirements can be solved with a fuel calculator, I think KG injector service has one on his website. Good luck with your build, keep us updated with the progress.
