First of all, the HP has little to do with the ET. Trap speed is what results from power. ET is a function of power band, gearing and traction.
Second, unless that FD only weighs 1800 LBS, it is not going into the mid 10's with only 400 HP easily.
It will probably trap above 120 MPH, though.

actually, no. maybe 100lbs ligher at most. my fd is full-weight. 2950 with me in it and an almost empty tank of gas. so it's 3k-3050 ish pounds with me + full tank of gas.

that sounds about right, but i haven't taken it to the drag strip yet. this car is a supra killer at high speeds (150+)

It's fine. It is alot more fun actually. The gas milage is worse, and it is definately louder, but quieter than the car with a midpipe and exhaust. Once you get all the tuning done, its just about OEM. Except for it being a bit louder than stock... it really drives like the car came with a turbo.
I let my brother-in-law drive it, and he is currently saving up for a Type-I or Type-III. He couldn't believe how well it drove... or how fast it was...
Anyways, can't say I regret it one bit, even my wife has come around and thinks it is cool now.... took her awhile to get used to the cool turbo sound.

^No clue gonna take Brettus's advice and hopefully weather permitting (chance of snow this weekend UGH!) gonna check out my MAF a few have said it could be the cause but 'eh.. my service dept says "well most rx-8's get that kinda milage"...
Its that or I have a deadbody in my enginebay 'cause I cleaned my trunk out last week.
So yeah Slavearm your still in the good range of milage buddy!

well i know we've got a code for that, but that's because the stepper is gone and they're blocked open.
but let's see some pics anyway--i like learning new stuff.
what's the main problem people are encountering with them?
