the graph was nice to see what kind of power you get "out of the box" so to speek with the PSI that is standard with each kit.

FYI, Turbo's give more torque and more power on less PSI than superchargers. Atleast for this car. You, the OP, should sell this car and trade it for a Geo Metro. That way, you'll get thumbs up from environmentalists...

Superchargers are more expensive on the rx-8, turbo's are cheaper. Base Greddy Turbo sucks, then get the upgrade that costs 1k more, which will solve the overheating and reliability issue, which you can get from FluidMotorsports.

I really hope you aren't trying to imply that one form of FI is hands down guaranteed to be better than another form of FI specifically on this car...

This cracks me up.... compare compressors or you are both wrong.

Saying a TD06 will outflow a Roots SC on a top fuel dragster is a lot different than saying a GT3578R will outflow a small twin screw..... ya dig?

... I didn't say one was better than the other. I'm just saying that you can't make baseless blanket statements about FI like Shazy did there.
