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

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.
