you should really try a seach on this topic. Mazda put out a statement the car cant really be dynoed it goes into limp mode. (searh for that as well) i my self am very new to the 8 and the rotary for that matter. i personally have heard the lost of HP is due to the US reg cat. but i might be talking out my butt to
