Cool, that's good power for your FD. Your stock twins are likely reaching their limit (I got 362 rwhp out of the stockers @ 15 lbs so your pretty close). However, if your engine temps are getting hot - you likely need cooling mods (it ain't the twins or the manifold). A high efficiency IC, CAI, and an 85 degree thermostat should keep your AIT's low enough. Good numbers Dude! ;o)

Thanks
Yes, 340 rwhp at 15psi, but it had used race plugs and the plug wires could need replaced. I also am not running any type of ignition booster. I also need to check my boost controller's vacuum lines, because I think there was a few leaks.

Here's my current engine setup:

Rebuilt and large street ported 13B engine
Atkins 86-95 Rx7 13B 2mm Cryogenically Treated Solid Corner Seal Set (ARE88-C)
Rotary Aviation Apex Seal Spring Options: 2mm 13B Race Springs
Rotary Aviation Super Seal Options: 13B - Two Rotor 2mm
Mazda o-rings and side seals
1300cc secondary injectors (rebuilt by RC Engineering)
550cc primary injectors (stock)
Supra TT Pump
Apexi Power Intakes
HKS 4" race downpipe
Cat eliminator pipe w/ silencer
HKS Hi-Power cat back
Front mount intercooler
Exedy stage 2 clutch
Engine torque damper
Lightweight engine pulleys
Sard R2D2 Blow off valve
Eliminated PCV valve
Oil catch can and breather
Greddy air pump delete pulleys
Lightweight aluminum flywheel
Air pump, AC compressor, AC system delete

The stock rad is likely not helping with the heat issues. I replaced the tstat, but I need to check if it was 85 degree.

If you are interested, I have one of these FD (OEM fitment) Ron Davis Competition Radiators. It was used for one season of racing.

Seems like there's a need to bring Steve back again, but I'm not sure how soon. It was tough trying to gather up enough cars and for folks to commit.


SHPNOUT - why don't you start up an interest thread and if we get enough cars, I'll make it happen again.
