I'm interested too. They are about 5 minutes from me. They've been there for at least 10 years that I've known of. Maybe someone on the RX7 forum knows of them.

Those guys have been there close to 20 years. They are not a mod shop at all. The owner goes by "Red". They are damn nice people and for general repair, straight up engine rebuilds, etc. they are probably the best priced shop in town.
I had a coil blow on one of my second gens a couple years back when I was at lunch close by there. I limped it over and they threw a coil on it for a DAMN good deal and I was back to work in no time. :D So they are good people in my book

For a dyno tune it would have to be Rotary Performance. Road tuning is way too dangerous IMHO. That does not sit well with some of my tuner friends that don't own dynos. But them running a car at 140/150 down a public highway is a fatality or 10 waiting to happen

Not only that but go to www.rx7.com that is them. They are pretty well known nationally. Chris Ott is pretty well known as well as Ari Yallon. The longer you are arounf rotors the more you will hear these names.

I will call Chris on Monday and run the idea past them. There is no reason I can think of that they would not be willing to do it. THey used to have dyno days which was bad ***. Anthony Bulger would cook all kinds of great food and we would have a great time.
now there were some guys with some turbo cars throwing down some serious HP.
We are not seeing any serious HP 8's right now.

Chris emailed back and said he would post it and spread the word. Since this is the same weekend as Rotary Revolution in Indy the RP guys won't be able to make it. Obviously they have to make what is now the biggest rotary event.
