His wasn't really stock, I believe he had a CAI and an aftermarket exhaust.

a properly tuned "strong" unported NA engine will exceed 260 g/s, theoretically a ported engine should be higher still ...

Lets just say for now, that my compression should increase slightly, and that should put my numbers where I was shooting for NA. I'm not ready to divulge the details yet, until I'm back on the rollers.

You know I'm in. Fazdarx8 would probably be in as well which makes at least 4 people. 3 FI and 1 NA is more than the minimum to get going

Trust me the drive is more fun then flying. Well once you get out of LA and past Fresno and get into the Bay Area. HWY 101...

Just think around Sept. We all get tuned and then caravan to Seven Stock

Be awesome if we could get another Dyno day and you come up!

None of you would happen to have a spare rotary that you want in SS that you are looking for a driver for would you?

pdx: if you guys plan it, I'll find a way to be in town for that weekend.
Besides, Zoom44 already graciously offered me a place to stay and is letting me drive his RX-8 to the meet.

Likely no, not from all the way out here. I would dearly like to find someone with 2 cars that they want to bring that needs a driver for the 2nd, someone within ~12 hours of LA. Though I'll go farther than that if they are north of LA.
