They are expensive, they know a lot about rotary, Cam is a good guy. I don't know if they are doing anything with the RX-8 yet. Did tons on the RX-7 before anyone ever was (well here stateside anyway).

The're about 15 minutes from my house. I had my rx7's motor rebuilt there. Yes, they are expensive, but if you have the money pettit is definitely the place to go. The've got a few things going for the RX8.

Petit is doing work on the rx8. I think I remember hearing about a SC system.

I haven't been there in a long time. You could give them a call if you're really interested in what they have going. Ask for tyler, cause he's the one doing most of the stuff on the rx8. 561-844-2258

I was there last week. They had a bunch of FDs and 1 RX-8 on the lift. They do great work and are very knowlegeable about rotarys, and racing them.
