WOOOOOOOT FOR CHRIS!
edit: 05rex8, are you gonna upgrade your greddy setup with MM Upgrade? Then you'll be in a similar power range.

I know, thats so insane! Too bad im too much of a scaredy cat to do that, I am perpetually afraid of my engine exploding. Maybe if I did a rebuild or something I can thrash it somemore. I did start premixing though, a bit late in engine life, but I bet it'll help a lil bit. At least give me piece of mind.

Omfg 400whp barrier broken on pump gas , freakin amazing. I remember back in the day when 300whp was hard to achieve , look at how far the rx8 has gotten. Thanks to companies like esmeril that hasn't given up on the 8. Freakin NICE , i know where my future debt is gonna be from

The dyno rpm pickup was having trouble in the high rpm range possibly due to the rich condition so we had to plot the run with MPH on the X axis. The run was done in 4th so rpm can be figured out if needed.

It's nice to see progress from Esmeril--good work guys. However, IMO there is still work that needs to be done to make this an attractive turbo kit. Peak HP is great and all, but the power band from this plot is too narrow for my liking. It needs to start making torque sooner (probably not going to happen with the turbo used in this kit), or it needs to maintain better torque past 7500 RPM. Working on the tune could accomplish the latter. Hopefully the boys at Esmeril aren't content to sit on their laurels
