BOOSTD 7

If you haven't seen this thread, please read first:

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/my-plan-address-power-issue-9660/

I need as many volunteers as possible to 'donate' their car for a few hours to do some testing. Basically, I'm going to buy one of these:

Passport G-Timer

And do some controlled testing. I'll do 4-5 runs on each car, measure 0-60 and 1/4 mile time, and use it for our compiled results. I WILL be taking the car to 9000-9500 RPM's, so if you only have a few hundred miles, this might not be for you. But if you have more than a couple hundred, everything will be fine. I will be driving all the cars for all runs, to try and keep things as uniform as possible.

What's in it for you? Well, a big thank you from me. Mention in the RX Tuner magazine, maybe a picture. But basically I need to do this to put the missing horsepower issue to rest.

I need to do it asap, maybe Labor Day? But it really needs to be done by 9/7 at the latest. PLEASE, consider this. It will be a huge help to me and the whole community.

There are people who have ran 14.3 on bone stock 8's and I hope to consistently duplicate those results. If I can do so, along with the other things I outlined in the above thread, I can prove my case and we can stop having to worry about all of this.

If you are willing, reply here or call me at 314.780.2792

Thanks,
Ryan Scott

Ryan......let me know when / where, and maybe I'll let you run my car. I'll let you run Mike's car first to make sure it withstands the abuse. :p

I'm going to be in CA the weekend of the 6th, so that weekend is out for me.

Did you already get the G-Timer?

BOOSTD 7

I don't know when we're going to do it ... not this weekend because of the stinkin rain. Would you guys be available during the week any time? Like maybe Tuesday or Thursday early evening?
