Looks great thanks for posting. I would suggest that you scan the page and/or make the readings clearer on the chart. You don't HAVE to PROVE anythign but it would be nice for the eyes on the form. THanks also for the movie in the other thread.

I didn't read all of that other closed thread, but I believe this was IKE's contention. Good race gas (high energy density more than just octane rating) should give you 5% or so more horsepower.
Thanks for the graphs,

WHAT GIVES WITH THE WIDE VARIANCE IN DYNO RESULTS
I've seen dyno sheets here from 180 to 196 now. I saw 180 from a borla exhaust modified 8 and 196 from "race gas". I saw 191 from a stock 8 in the California owners forum. Why the wide difference in "numbers" which appearantly is only bothering me. I understand the differences if the fuel is different and the exhaust is different but why would the borla dyno be lower than a stock one later on? What gives? If the 'experts' on the site can't seem to get accurate readings from the dyno why is it such a big deal that Mazda didn't either. Somebody explain it to me? Atleast when Mazda screws up they admit it and give me something for wasting my time. Starting to seriously doubt the experts on this site. Seems like more know it alls than actual experts around here.

Hmmm could it be possible some RX-8's made it through to the states without being reflashed? Because those last two dyno's seem to blow the "Can't dyno the car due to the computer sensing something wrong with the front wheels?" theory.
With these last two dyno's now, it puts the car right on the mark for the 238 HP claim with 18% drivetrain loss.

So ignoring the race gas dynos, with 93octane, we have a 188 and 191whp. Hopefully with more breakin time, it'll go up by another 5-10whp. I still expect a 238HP car to get closer to 200whp when fully broken in. All the S2K friends I have have dynos that hit 200-205whp. So hopefully the Renesis still has a little loosening up to do before showing full power.
But now that the dynos are getting closer to expected, what about that discussion about the RX8 being un-dynoable? Is that now bunk? Or are some actually underrated now with the spec drop?

it will have an issue on the dyno if you don't fully disable the traction control. the ecu doesn't like seeing the rear wheels going 100MPH and front ones going zero

Hey guys, been on the east coast and just now getting power restored in my area. I think people need to realize that dynos tend to have variance in how they read as will cars from all manufacturers. Also, as Mike pointed out weather is a factor as well. Did anyone ever dig up the info on the old dynos to see what type of gas they were running. I think it's looking more and more likely that the RX-8 was tuned to run on higher than 91 octane gas, and it would not be the first car to be this way. The STis are running horribly on 91 octane and the new V6 accord is making up to 10 more HP on dynos with higher octane gas, I'm sure there are other examples out there. Hopefully Mazda is working on a reflash (if that is the problem) and Mazda will get this whole thing straightened out and maybe even have a different map for the people stuck with 91 octane.
When are you taking the car to the strip Vosco, and will you guys be using race gas or a lower octane?
