Whats the best way to get more low end power???
Ive had my rx8 for about 3 months now and i love it...but i used to have an 02 camaro ss and i miss having all of that torque...are there any stroker kits for the rx8 or any good super charger kits???
please help haha thanks, Christian |

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? https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8s-sale-wanted-43/%7Cwtb-manual-rx8-118190/ |
JATO /RATO would work.
Throw a couple of these on the sides,,, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ATO_Bottle.jpg |

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'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: The MEGA-HYPER ELECTRO-TURBO SYSTEMŽ by Terboboyee |

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. |
