BAD DRIVERS SHOULDN'T DRIVE RX-7s!!!
Two guys from my school (92 rx-7 twin-turbo with intake and ecu VS 96 talon TSI AWD stock) raced on sunday and the guy in the rx-7 lost BAD! (is car is way faster but he is a shitty driver).<P>Anyways... my question is would it be possible for my GS to get to that level if I do the KL-ZE swap + intake + exhaust + ecu + pullies + etc... or would I have to go turbo to be able to beat those cars????

I went up against a 2nd gen turbo RX-7.. they come stock 200hp. I have KL-ZE w/ intake. This guy blew me out of the water. I had him from the start...then when the turbo kicked in..he was out of there. Now I wanna turbo my car. Anyone go to Englishtown often to race?

Re: BAD DRIVERS SHOULDN'T DRIVE RX-7s!!!
In response to your question;<P>KL-ZE, Cold air intake setup, High flow cat, 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust, High flow muffler, BFG G-force drag radials or slicks, plus a 50 shot of nitrous(although it usually makes 55H.P and 100PFT at the wheels) and you should be making around 225 H.P and 240 PFT at the wheels which is about<BR>264 H.P. and 300 pound feet of torque at the engine.<P>Notice I said AROUND! I dont know for sure as I dont have the nitrous on my car, but from many dyno runs of other cars with nitrous I have seen this is close. + or- 20 HP orPFT.<P>My car cost me 8,400 after 15% tax.<BR>engine cost me 2,600 after tax<BR>new parts cost 1,700 after tax<BR>zex from a friend 700<BR>slicks 600<BR>misc. 800<BR>total. around 15,000<P>cost of a 94 turbo RX-7 22,000-28,000
