So, there I was knee deep in C-4 and detonating cord…err wrong story.
So, there I was 2:15 AM Wednesday morning tossing and turning in bed debating if I should go to work or to get my butt up and drive down to Pettit for my ECU recalibration. Then, I heard the voice (I don’t do drugs, really) of Rotary god saying “get up you sack of $hit, drive down to Pettit, call your boss in the AM and tell him that your daughter’s pet hamster is not feeling good.
I thought about it for 0.3 seconds, got up, drank a gallon of coffee, brushed my teeth, kissed the wife, got in my RX8 and drove 2.5 hours to Pettit. Waited two hours until JR arrived opened the shop. Later, Cam came in and said “Good morning Juan, ready to get your RX8 recalibrated?” Yes, sir!!!
I spend all day at Pettit, helped Cam and Moon do a methanol install on another SC and tried to convince Cam to give Cam Junior the company car (Cam’s RX8) for X-mas. Left Pettit at 9:30 PM (after an evening dinner with Cam And Moon) and drove 2.5 hours back home.
So, what does it feel like driving my RX8 SC with the recalibration (No Interceptor-X).
1- Drives like a dream
2- No CEL light
3- 40 more RWHP
4- Spanked
a Civic twice on my way home “VTEC Dez M/F” 
5- Thanks so much Cam/Moon and the entire Pettit team for making my RX8 SC an enjoyable/fun to drive rotary car
6- I still have a job but my boss needs to get over
7-

I wonder what caused the turbo lovers to come here to the supercharger threads? I'm sure that everyone here has heard all the arguments and made their decision accordingly. There is a need to defend the Greedy turbo here in the s/c threads? I had not noticed anyone attacking it here. Oh well it's a free country and an open forum.
You have boost almost the whole rev range - do you have to - no - but you want to!!!

I only corrected misleading statements. Just stick to the facts and I won't butt in. You'll find anything I said here to be factually correct and not based on opinion.

There will be a track day at moroso's road course in about 2 1/2 weeks. Why don't we make it a friendly competiton S/C Vs Turbo. We could do both the road and the strip.

Now look at my posts and you'll see the lack of any mention of any specific kit.
Like I said, I am sticking with facts. I just happened to pop in here and saw mention of BOVs being an issue, as well as spool spool times, neither of which are an issue.
The only negative thing I mentioned was torque. Which boils down to how fast you accelerate. And that was a factual statement.

Moon I meant duck tape you to the hood so you could point out the apex points on the turns. lololololol
If the drive to moroso is to far I'll go up north it's only a 3hr drive. Moon needs to start heading north for his road trip anyway.
