My wife and I are still completely f'n clueless as to what happened afterwards and we're waiting for rerun land (or torrent) for an explanation.

I ended up getting a new airbox.

I live for the following 3 TV shows - Battlestar Galatica, Lost, and 24.

The single-most dramatic, and documentable, change when using good H.O. coils on the RX-8 is a smoothing of the torque curve above 7,000 RPMs (typically but sometimes lower RPMs too) due to no more misfires. The other benefits are really something that you have to observe to appreciate. Remember, BHR always backs our products with warranties that rise well above the industry norm. That's why my personal cell number is on all the receipts I send out.

I have always had a problem with dyno sheets because people don't usually know what they are looking at, anyway.

there has yet to be a controlled test of these coils where the vehicle was dyno'd before and immediately afterwards.
Mine was to be that car but as we already discussed, it was not to be.

I'm sure someone will post up a before / after dyno eventually.

House...............that reminds me, ever see the one with the little midget woman, they are kind of bantering back and forth, then House says to her...."It must really suck that every time you stand in line you smell ***!" I think I shot my drink out my nose on that one.

Thee is no need for any wars on the dyno. I just want us ALL to have the best running and highest HP RX8's that we can have.

Only if your on the front lines......no war, just disagreements and the youthful lack of decorum. Last I heard the U.S was not allowed to park a war ship in NZ. Are we at war?? Same analogy.

War!!! Why is a disagreement (that got out of hand) being classified as a war........Some would just like to fan smoldering ember into a wild fire. Most embers can be extinguished easily.

By the way Easy, have you been thinking about my CAI?????

Gil, you have been on these forums long enough to know that sarcasm is served in portions the size of Mt. Everest.

Also Phil,

My apologies for not clarifying my position saying "all vegas people have something against BHR" in my previous post. As you have long been involved with BHR I consider you seperate from the normal vegas crowd.

So, in all, I wasn't referring to you in my previous post just to clarify.

What? Re-read that.

On the east coast, they get 93 and sometimes 94 at the pump.
Plus, less corn.
