You won't see 390 rwhp on factory twins w/o riding the razor's edge of detonation. PERIOD ! Even then, that number is hard to reach.
Look at my mods. My engine has 9.000 miles on it. It's street ported w/ all mods listed below (except no alc/water inj. and boost at 15.8) . Running a 12.8 a/f ratio at 15.8 psi pulled 330 rwhp. This was on 93 octane gas.
------------------
'95 VR RX-7 R2 - New Engine w/ Street port, intake, dp, mp, cat-back, BOV, elbow, pulleys, Trust SMIC, Alcohol/Water Injection, i/c pipes, clutch, 9.5# fly, fuel pump, rising rate regulator, 1200cc Secondary Injectors, Power FC, Factory Rebuilt Turbos, 17# boost, HKS Twin Power, 10mm wires, NGK plat. plugs

CarCrazy on this board pulled 393 rwhp with his HKS T-04S kit. Should be similar to what the XS engineering kit will give you depending on which flavor of T4 you go with. Check it out:

If you don't mind a little lag and would like more potential power you could always go with a T78 kit. A lot of the guys on the boards have this setup with the Haltech so there is lots of support if you are doing the job yourself.

I have said this before, but you can't say that all rotaries should get XX HP with certain mods and boost level. Each engine is different and when compared to other engines it will produce a wide variation of HP. I have discussed this issue with Chris of RP several times. Cars with no mods have around a 20 HP spread and mod cars have about a 30 HP spread.
Point being . . . . I think Roy could have his setup perfect. A perfectly good engine/turbos with good tuning. I would expect to see 330 to 360 at 15 psi. And this is what I have personally seen on the dyno sheets that have either been floating around the net or I have seen at RP.

I admit ... it can be done ... and I am somewhat impressed by your results. Got any dyno graphs to show me? I am not trying to be rude. I just usually like to quote what I have seen and if I am going to change my tune I would like to be thoughly convinced. I do agree that most comparisons are done with many different variables, but I think there are only modest differences between parts. (Just personal opinion)
