seriously though this is some MAJOR nitpicking, what matters is the end result of the greddy kit is 100% accurate and their advertisement is 100% legit. people with dyno's have PROVEN it. in fact the stock power varies so much and is so debatable its a lose-lose situation in terms of pleasing you for putting down accurate stock numbers. the car dynos 175-200 horsepower for christ sake, and like rg says, the car simply cannot dyno correctly due to ems being altered on the dyno. anyway

First of all...show me one chassis dyno of a STOCK RX-8 dyno'ing 200whp corrected or uncorrected.

Second, I respect RG a lot, I admire him, but I don't think the RX-8 is trickier to dyno correctly than any other new car on the street nowadays. Have you dyno'ed your car? I have, I got my results, and I didn't limp back home or anything remotely close to that. Are we going to start the debate about the whole HP rating again? I thought that was really a dead issue.

There was a dyno run in Seattle...dmp was there, I'm not sure who did it but somebody got over 200 hp to the wheels.

So believe it. And go on with your life ;)

Let me put it to you this way: someone was somewhere when something happened is not good enough. I've seen ONE 200+whp dyno on an RX-8, and it was quite far from stock. Why would I believe something I can't see...did I ommit to mention I am an atheist? :p

There were MULTIPLE PEOPLE from RX8club.com AT THE DYNO!

You think it's a conspiracy or something? :p

Don't be surprised if more and more 8's dyno close or at 200whp. The first cars to be dynoed were 2004 models that were running pig rich with dsc&tcs on.

Hey...the day I see it, I'll believe it. So far...I haven't seen any stock RX-8 crossing the 190 barrier -at most. BTW, my car has the latest super dupest flash, and it still runs pig rich. :p

Sorry...I'm kind of a jerk sometimes. :o

I'm pretty sure it was stock but maybe somebody who was there can clarify it...
