Thumbs up What route to choose to get 400+rwhp

What's up everybody! I am new to the world of Rotary and need some advice on what parts I should get and what setup I should choose to reach 400 to 500rwhp on the stock Rotary. I'm not at all fimiliar with Rotary and would like to learn it's outer most limits like: how much boost I can run on the stock Rotary on pump and race gas. I just totaled my evo this last monday and I am very interested in getting a 95' twin or single turbo Rx7. I also live in socal(whittier) and would like to know where the nearest rotary speacialist shop would be beside Sp engineering(Cause they are expensive as hell). Please list every detail on how to mod these things up without blowing the motor and tell me what is the best shop for these cars. THX!

I assume you where a part of a Evo board or forum, and believe me, I am no expert on how they run the Evo boards, but let me break you into Rxclub with a little animation.

Probably the same way he'll end up totalling an FD. If he lost control in an EVO, I doubt he'd be able to handle a turbo RWD (assumption is that he was at fault for totalling his EVO).

I think I've seen only about a dozen 95 FDs total listed for sale in Southern California for the past 3 years.

they made a couple of changes on the ***** or some crap, didn't they? Like, you're getting a 94, but you think it's better than a 94 because they changed the *****. Anyhoo, until the noob does a few searches and asks questions that haven't been answered a million times already, I think this thread should become the "what food is better than a bacon wrapped hotdog" thread.

My answer is: absolutely nothing on God's green earth is better to eat than a bacon wrapped hotdog.

And you bought most of them and sold it for less than the purchased price.

I lost control because I was in the rain on the 605fwy and having 340whp on almost bald tires doesn't cut it. I barely tap the pedal and the next thing you know I'm spinning figure 8's into the middle of the fwy and got hit by 2 cars.
