Some of those perceived hp gains are laughable.

"AEM Cold Air Induction $309 15HP/12ft lbs Torque"... if you believe that, I can sell you some diodes that will give you 20 HP for $30.00.

GReddy Turbo Kit /w Intercooler $3100 60 Base HP (yep, it actually gives 60+ hp, needs to be tuned though, and once you buy this the air intake becomes useless).

Unorthodox Flywheel Free up 2-5 HP $485

Mazdaspeed 2-way Limited Slip $1160 Better Torque/power

Rotora Front 6piston Big Brake Kit (blue) $2270 (Unless you are tracking it extensively will add weight & slow the car down & not improve regular stopping distance)

Ground Kit $90 (Makes a smoother idle, but that is about it)

Nology Hotwire SparkPlugs $180 (Melts spark plugs, no power gain)

PWR Aluminum Radiator $480

HKS Hipermax II Coilovers $1660

Rotora Rear Cross-driller and Slotted Rotors $280
Here is the reality, the hp figures you were quoting have been widely discredited. Nemesis8 had a good post here a while back on realistic gains.

Leader of imperial racing syndicate? Do you guys meet up on the death star? Do your "tuner friends" know you're an idiot and listen to you too?

It is absolutely sinful they even let you get your hands on an RX-8, after looking at your page - I'm positive you're going to completely ruin it with rice.

Seriously buddy, if you get an AEM CAI, and then a turbo, you've got to throw away the CAI . . . .

An LSD/Clutch/Flywheel won't give you a damned horsepower - they efficiently transfer power to the ground.

take that list and every thing besides the turbo..... multiply it by .25 and that will be a bit closer to your hp increases. dont even bother with the intake.... 2-3 hp is unnotoicable at best.

well, if you think dumping all those mods amounting to over $13,000 is worth it, then go for it. but realize you could buy a nice better car for less than the cost of an RX8 + $13,000.

idiot.
