OK Guys,
We are on for this Saturday May 31. I have some good news and bad news.
Good News. We are on.
Bad news. At 7 people, TD Perforamnce wants to charge us 70 per car instead of 65. However, I think we can get the last three. I have a couple of people close to committing.
Meet Time 9am. It will take about 20-30 minutes per call. If you have any questions, please PM or call me.

First Time out
Paul, Thanks for setting this up. It was great to meet a couple RX-8 owners. I only had mine a few weeks. I had a grin a while listening to your car rev on the Dyno.
Hope to see guys out at some other events.

Will do man. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the dyno numbers. But I will try to post my dyno sheet. I cant believe with all the mods that I have on my car, you got better numbers than me.

From what I remember, you had 3 less hp peak but significantly higher 8-9k RPM power. (Maybe 20-25HP more) I am going to speak with Mazda about the high RPM loss.
BTW, did you get a chance to check out the video? Your car looks great. I have posted a high-res version of my car at Vimeo. Check out the link below.
