I just dynoed 240 rear wheel HP! Bye,Bye, 14.3 seconds

I'm on a mission to make my Rx8 run faster and faster. I just dynoed 239.7 rwhp. I would have made more power. My spark plugs are shot and I didn't get a chance to change them. Tomorrow I'll be test and tunning and looking to destroy my previous 14.3 E.T. I'll have somebody help me post the dyno sheet.

(Please do not ask me how I achieved this power. I am not at liberty to say) The Rx8 is still bone stock... If I land a perfect launch 13.? we will soon find out...

Bone stock 239.7 rwhp... hmmm, sounds like you have a really skewed dyno, or you were on some very heavy drugs. Or Bone stock is the name of your mod...

either way, cheers!

No offense, I realize you have the best 1/4 mile times so far, but do you really expect anyone to believe this?

Still bone stock, 237 RWHP? Eh?

To make a statement like that, then tell people not to ask, that's expecting the impossible. Are you part of a CIA HP project? Come on, man....

No offense taking. If all goes well tomorrow I'll have a better time slip..Believe the better time slip I should have tomorrow if it doesn't rain..

OK, count me in the interested yet skeptical column.

So, if you open up a 13.xx 1/4 mile can you share the secret then? or will it be a trade secret? and if so where do I sign up for the NDA?

240rwhp on a 3230lbs Rx8 should put me in the 13.40 to 13.60 range. Let the time slip speak for itself.

Folks, if Judge Ito says he dyno'd 240 WHP, you can bet your *** he did.

I think "Bone Stock" is the name of the mod... or perhaps, he had his Renesis street ported. We'll see.

reliable sources have told me he's using bottle rockets in order to propel his car to break neck speeds.

hmmz .. still stock ... hmmz I am guessing you took off the whole exhaust and took off the whole intake , thats still stock to me ... and then hmmmz .... 16" lightweight rims.

Ok .. I give up , I have no idea how da hell you got 240 WHP ... you didn't take off the exhaust and intake did you ? No reflashes ? hmmmz maybe you got a jap ecu and plugged it in ? Are the tires stock ? Rims stock ? exhaust and intake still on ? Traction control on ?

If it's not bottle rockets, it's $50 to bribe the dyno guy

If he's made any changes, even to stock parts, it's really not stock anymore.

stock - regularly and widely used or sold; "a standard size"; "a stock item"

Screw the dyno, I'd be happy with time slips showing mid to low 13s. :D

Patience folks. Ito will tell all when he's ready. I'm just hoping in all his R&D work that he's figured out a way to strengthen the tranny...

Ok this is one of my pet peeves. Why would even get on here to tell people this kind of thing if you have no intentions on proving yourself or letting anyone else know how you did it. I have seen people do this all the time on different forums.

It's like saying... Hey I found an unlimited supply of free cash. I had it all yesterday when no one was around, but it's gone now and don't ask me where it is because I can't tell you right now. I promise you I'll tell you one of these days where to go to get it.

Post dyno sheets and tell us how you have "magically made 239.7 HP" when no one else could. I know that if I had the resources at a shop and that shop knew how anyone and everyone was trying to get more power out of an engine it would be a good and not to mention profitable business decision to let everyone know that this shop could be a repeat performer.

Until you give hard proof I am steadily waving the BS flag high in the air over this post.

Please prove it. I'd love to go faster. :D
