For all Auto Owners on the Rx-8. In your opinion what is your top 3 or 5 picks that you have done to get your Rx-8 with more power (hp) gains?

We really have the same options as manual 8's except the lack of a couple turbo kits. Also we obviously can't get a lightened flywheel, either. Other than that, it's pretty much the same deal. Search around for hi-flow cats, catless midpipes, catback exhausts, and intakes. Other than that, wait for Pettit's supercharger.

You can do a search on 4.77 and get some info. JonDemand (lazi) has been selling them, and Paul at Mazmart has been offering to have the gear built and do a core swap. That's the route I went. Sounds like it is going to take awhile to get the gear in from Japan, but I think it will be worth the wait.

Well, i got it when JonDemand was having a sale. Got the gear for 675 shipped to Paul at Mazmart. Going to have him build the diff for me. With a core swap it is 300 to get it done. So by the time i get it and have a mechanic install it, it will probably be somewhere between 1000 and 1500, I would imagine. Not sure how long it takes a mechanic to swap out a diff.

I got mine from Japanparts directly.
Before installing it I have to work out on the PowerMode EMS. The car just did not go when all wired was secured and grounded. I also ran a catless midpipe and hand built catback.
