Bought the car, put some miles on it, now it's time to jack with it. What's can I do to it? besides all the normal stuff, like air cleaners, and exhaust systems. by the way, this looks like a nice forum, haven't seen any a******* know it alls, and haven't seen and flaming going on, hope it stays that way.

Take a look at the canzoomer piggy-back ecu upgrade. I hear it brings back some lost hp.



It even comes with a free basic registration this year's Rotary Revolution

I would like to see how your results are, I am going to dyno my car in stock form to get a baseline, and I'd like to get some type of fuel software but an not sure what all is availible.....am looking for something with complete adjustability over the entire fuel map.

Canzoomers piggy back is going to be a good pc. I have a st.2 on order and waiting. Also the e-manage is also very good(same as canzoomers except secret sauce). A flywheel makes a good difference in driveabilty imo.

Best bang for your buck combo now is a new exhaust and a canzoomer stage 1. Good for about 35HP.

I wish that were true but I dont think it is that high IMO. I hope it will be but after doing some logging no much room for a gain of that magnatude. Of course race gas might help

I dont have the chart or data if thats what you mean. Just got it on a local dyno at a friends shop to compare with it on and off. If he has some free time for me to throw it on again I'll take a diskette to get the data. Dont think it will be this weekend, maybe next.
