I have a 93 FD and I am wanting to race it pretty bad. However, I do not feel like there is enough low end power. Once it gets up in the RPM's it feels like is takes off, but low end it just does not feel very fast. Could this be a sign that something is wrong?



Thanks!

all rx7s are like that. thats why when i race i will acually drop it at about 5 to 6 grand in rpms. makes a bad *** leap out of the hole and suprises all kinds of people.

twyatt are you running sequential turbos ? if you are you should have PLENTY of low end power..... you might have a turbo control system problem. if you are running non-seq or single turbo all the power will be in the upper rpm range
