Unfortunately this is the downside to having a small engine. You'e only got a couple of options and it really depends on what you want. The 2 easiest options would be either a turbo or a supercharger but forced induction is most likely going to be the most realistic option. The only other option is to swap a different larger engine into the car. You just aren't going to get the same feel that your LS1 had but more power is doable.

You could swap in an LS1

has anyone yet to swap an ls1 into our chassis???? I know a 3rotors and older 13b's have been, but i haven't read about an ls1 yet.

Oy.


how have you had your RX8 for 3 months if you were just looking for one 5 days ago?

JATO /RATO would work.
Throw a couple of these on the sides,,,

That's because it was rude and uncalled for. Therefore it gets changed. The other option is to give warnings instead which to the system equal 1 point each. 10 points total accrued is a ban. This way seemed much nicer didn't it? No points.

Check out this thread. It's a good comparision of the different FI options out there with dyno plots to give you a feel which option will give you the performance you want.

I just had mine stroked and bored, though I'm looking for a good cam to compliment that.

Did you install a sequential turbonator yet?
Man that should up your bottom real nice. :Eyecrazy:

I'm looking into this:https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/%2412-ebay-sport-chips-120409/
But I'm probably gonna stay with this:

I think having a 3 inch from headers back with Racing Beat's Race flash gives the mid range the biggest torque increase any of my other modifications ever gave me.

I used too always think my car looked like a gerbil, sounds like a gerbil on steroids now... Add a 50 shot of nitrous and your done.
