the 300 hp on the other hand, though, can certainly be made with some tuning for even higher rpm operation... like, 300hp at 10500rpm... that'd be... 150lb ft. of torque...
easy numbers

Don't forget, CART has the Barber Dodge series for a level below Toyota Atlantics. Below that, you're basically talking about semi-pro series (like SCCA's F2000 and other such series), so there isn't much room for anything else to move up right now.

RX-8 was detuned
So, I just got back from the Rev It Up, and have some good news. The tuning for the US was just finalized not too long ago, and it improved on what everyone had been previously testing. The tech guy at the event was pretty connected with the development here. He said that the tuning that the press drove around had around 240hp vs a final 247-250hp.

...well, not so much detuned as Euro-emissions spec.
still, it's comforting that there'll be just that little bit more in "our" production models.

I would like to hear more on this!!!
.....found a old thread. Interesting...I've been wondering alot about this stuff. Some questions.....
How does one flash an ECU? Was this done at port to conform with portside emissions tests? Can my dealership's service deparment re-flash them? Can I reflash them?
TIA
