Don't assume it'll blow so easily. Unless he's trying to blow it up of course.

I'm not, I just think people like you are ruining and helping keep down rotaries and rotary vehicles.

yes, it would be nice to have an ls7 z06 shortblock but those things are like $15k just for the shortblock!

Essentially any motor will blow if you push boost on a stock fuel map.

Not just that, but massive tq and you could do a lot more to it:
3.73s in the rear, H/D cam, turbo, etc.

You're not going to push much boost through the LS7 on pump gas with the compression at 11:1. Porsche Boxster's run about 11:1 compression and their turbo kits will only produce 4.5psi. It's a nice power jump, but nothing spectacular.

well with 3.73s in the rear and a H/D cam, not to mention a bunch of bolts ons, the turno wont matter too much

yea, like 600whp with very few mods aren't good enough...

Is this the RX-8 at Method? I've gone over and talked to Henant a couple times about it. The blue one, right?
