Any way(s) to beat a 350z?

2) I have the BHR Ignition System, AP tuned by MM (but we still have a little tweaking to do and we might have 10 h.p. hiding somewhere), a Fidanza flywheel that I bought before I started BHR (I am soon to install the BHR Flywheel and Stage 2+ clutch kit), BHR prototype midpipe, Borla cat-back, SR Motorsports underdrive pulleys, and I have yet to get a solid pull with nitrous on the dyno.
3) Bobby (Punisher_RX8) had Kane tune his engine after I installed a BHR Flywheel and a nitrous system and Bobbby got some SERIOUSLY impressive rwhp numbers with a 55 shot, something like 250-260. I am not sure what he had without the shot, though.
4) The general idea is that we are seeing 47 additional rwhp with a set of .017/.032 jets ("55" shot) on a nitrous system.

1 of these...
actually two of these and put it on harry's tab.
(kidding i couldn't help myself), seriously though... the RX8 could probably take the z on a curvy track course but straight away is a different story, you could:
-strip out the interior, run no cat, with bigger injectors and a tune
**Nitrous would probably get you to your goal, but it would send a stock motor into the ground**
or you could swap in a 2005 350z VQ :]

Really? Tell that to the dozens of people to whom I have sold nitrous systems and tutored on proper installation. I have YET to have a customer lose an engine as a result of following my advice. It is when they don't that problems ensue.

What's the deal with Easy blowing so many intake manifolds? Why doesn't he follow your advice?

"BHR, in our efforts to create new frontiers for the RX-8 and their owners prefer to sacrifice our own cars for the sake of discovery rather than the cars and engines of our customers."
Besides, a new manifiold and 15 minutes later Easy was back on the road.

there are also vids of 8's beating ms6 and ms3's
like the others said if u picked this car for speed, your gonna have to spend a good amount of cash to make it fast, whats the point of street racing? take it the track around twisties and leave that 350 eating dirt.

Nitrous do it! I've had nitrous on my car for about 2 years and never had a problem. Man my kit so stealth not even CHPs around here can find it thanks to the BHR team.
, next time I'll make a thread "Any way(s) to beat a corvette!

Um no, you are confusing the corvette with the mustang. The vette actually does handle damn fine. I went from my C5 vette to my Rx8 and I can tell you the handling difference is negligible. The 8 may handle a bit "lighter" but the vette will still go right where you point it.
