I'll probably join you. I am removing the header and going back to stock manifold and want to see if the power goes back to 204 like it used to be.

From the thread: The RX-8 Dyno Results Compliation (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=77031&page=5)

Just back from Dynolab in Marietta. I'm not sure what's going on with the chart above 7K RPM but it did the break up thing 3 times. Each time we moved the contact locations. I then cleared the memory and tried it again for this 4th run of the day which was the best but this breakdown in the signal is really bothering me. Two other 8's ran and did not have this problem.

My change before this run is new coils only. No modifications. There is a modist gain over the last run.
