Its raining out so I didnt get a chance to see what the butt dyno thinks. I will post my dyno when I get it.
So did you tune for the Water/Meth??

Ray said once we get some good spark we can get some "real" power out of the car.

I love going out there deff worth the 1.5 hr drive to see 20+ RX7's and 8's all over the place. He even has a 20b auto rx8 in the works. I snapped some pictures which I will try to get off my phone later.
So you've had a good experience at their shop? I had never heard much about them these days, but I'm not that much farther away from them. Do they only do Int-X tuning or do they offer AccessPORT tuning yet? At some point I really want to get dyno tuned with my turbo setup and a rotary shop would be far preferred.

Actually funny he said that. He has his first car in with the cobb he is going to tune. He does mostly everything, I know he tried to tune the powermod but didnt like the way it handled fuel. He's done HKS's and microtech's (int-x). I imagine he has other systems aswell. Yes Ray is very good. He is the only shop I will take my car to at this point.

And what you have really be waiting for. Dyno!!!!

If he does tune with the AccessPORT he will have a new customer very soon. I will credit you with the referal heh. I was going to have Agile auto do my tuning, but although the owner is a really awesome tuner, he has never tuned a rotary before, which makes me very nervous. I would rather go to someone with a specialty in tuning rotaries.

good job - although i'm surprised to see power drop away as much as it does after 7500 with the decent sized turbo that you have .
