I just watched the video you posted again and I have to say I havent seen a better launch since I watched this video of a 450 hp skyline. It's perfect! Very nice.... This skyline hit the rev limiter in first and carried so much speed as he shifted into 2nd and finally third..

Damn do you tear it up.. Very nice

Thanks, though I was taking it very easy on the launches.. I had winter tires on at the time. I also didn't want to burn out the stock clutch that night either :p

A little birdie just told that our stock OEM seals are good for 13 PSI of FI.

A little birdie just told me that I should be rich and famous.
I guess I'll settle for good looking.

I take it your birdie is running 13 PSI at the moment?

LOL

I was up at the dealer getting a quote on installing my flywheel, and I asked the master mechanic about it. Is he pulling my leg?

No the little birdie is not boosted, he said that is what MNAO told him. Hey Jeff, I got Ryan to fix the thread name over at RX7club

we've heard from other MNAO sources that 7psi is all it can take...(sorry i can't reference the source, im too damn tired to find it, but it's on here somewhere...)

7 may be safe and 13 the max...

Kind of hard to do so since there's still snow and ice all over the ground where I live... will probably have to wait until the spring so I can get to the drag strip

You are so lucky. Can't wait to hear about your numbers.

First they use your car for a coaster. Next they will use the turbo as a vacuum cleaner to spruce up the shop.

Sure, it's a common typo, but I still think it is funny!

(I need to get out more.)
