Well--I suppose its a moot point anyway--because the Greddy Turbo can be fitted to the A/T. I think to really get 0-60 times below that of the 6spd RX8 the tranny could benefit from a higher stall--as it is now the boosted A/T that is running around (Greddy) is pulling 0-60 times equal to that of a 6spd (if not a little slower).

Sillygirl is trying to trade now to a red GT, Jerky Owner did the trade, PimpndaRX8 (sp?) traded, and I think there were 1 or 2 more that did the trade. Me--I have a few other life priorities right now to be trying to put money in on trying to trade just yet.

Maybe the numbers where switched around??? At those psi numbers it would make more sense to have 325HP or whp and 256 Torque.
Philodox...at about 7psi, got 65 extra whp, so at 14 it could be possible to get 120-140...right?
I'm not an expert either, but those high psi numbers should bring out a BEAST in the 8. Personally, I'd stick to 7-9 psi with good managment...what good is a car that wont last 24K miles...just my .02...
Thanks for posting...

BTW, this thread really should be in the Major Horsepower Updgrades sub-forum

Interesting stuff.
I have a question about the Automatic transmission RX8's. Is there some type of launch control program? I know in the RDX if you hold the "+" paddle in the pulled position and raise the revs it brings the boost up to a set point for a perfect launch with minimal slip. it really impressed me, as it was similar to brake-reving in results. Does the 8 have something like that?
