Thanks for trying to include us, but...

Taking an rx8 to the dyno is kinda like sending flowers to a stripper...it's best avoided because you're setting yourself up for disappointment and embarrassment. lol.

Well, you would know better than I but does that also mean that performance mods on these cars are without merit beside sound quality? I know you start out with similar numbers to the S2K but no experiece beyond reading the numbers and various post.

By the way one awsome looking 8 in your sig.

Yeah, it's my opinion that for the most part the '8 is what it is, and not so much what you can build it to be. Standard intake/exhaust/tune mods might get you 15rwhp on a good day, after a $1500 investment. Then if you go turbo, that's a whole other can of worms...you gain 75-125rwhp for 5-10 grand, and you cut the already shaky engine reliability by 75%.
