Ray said you can gain 15HP with cobb.

Yes. You will be supplied with several maps and access to his special web site that will keep updated maps as they are developed. You need to PM him about it as I am just his friend not a salesman. The only reason I push it is that I've already made the mistakes and don't want you guys to make the same ones.

Actually Ray is correct with the 15hp and MMs tune maps. Maps from Cobb will only guarantee 5% or about 9 hp.

^Yeah and if you look to the right of that vid in the related videos, You will see Mikes white RX-8 vid I took and put online lol
And they tend to run hot if you run them with a cat. Ditch the car with a race pipe, you'll be good but have more exhaust note as is loud!!!

As some of you know I have been planing on doing some dyno testing soon. A couple of you voiced that you would like to join in. If I can get eight paid interested members then I will set it up. Here is the way it will be set up if it goes:

1. Date of dyno meet would be April 6th (tenitave date) but it would be a Saturday.
2. Time of first run should be 8am (tenitave time depending on shop opening time)
3. Cost for dyno runs is not set in stone yet as I am going to barter with them but it should be about $75.00 for two runs.
4. Everyone doing a dyno run will have to post a non refundable $25 deposit. This will pay for the facility if you do not show but it will be part of your run money. This deposit will only be accepted after we have reached 8 cars.
5. If there are enough Acess Ports or other tuneable ECUs available at the time, I will assure that Jeff (MM) comes up to adjust tunes between runs. I will pay his expenses but if he has any other charge it's between him and you.
6. Once you have paid your deposit, you will be given a start time for your first run. If your 1 minute late, you forfit your start time and takeover the start time of another tester. If you fail to show up at all, you will forfit your deposit to the guy that opened up on a Saturday so that we could test.

A second run is not necessary but if you need one, there should be time to do it. There could be a full meet going on at the same time if you wish. I am not sure of which shop I will use yet but all will be informed.

If I don't get at least 8 people to join me then it's not going to happen. So if your interested, post your pleasure or PM me.

I bumped it again so everyone will have the chance to dyno if they wish.

HEHE It almost fooled me again, but the thing is most people that see the fly on the screen try to kill it right away. I don't kill bugs or anything that's not going to kill me.. But, I don't see the fly in your signature anymore.. Did you already remove it?!

exhaust is a beast if you have never done it before. when i had installed my first exhaust, it took us 3 hours because of the spring loaded bolts. if i had done it again tho, it would take much shorter
