yup bout 200 hp.
gonna go with the 100 shot of NOS.
should be a fun little setup and not have too much power.
if i like driving the rx-7 then i might rebuild the motor for some power or i might go with an ls1 - t56 setup and make it smog legal in cali.
if i don't like driving it then i'll just sell it and get what i really want.

i just sold a 86 gxl it was in bad shape but came with a s5 turbo 2 swap in it but the rear rotor was on its way out so i sold the swap for 350 and the car for another 300 i had planned on a sbc swap but missed having a honda too much so ditched it and have another hatch in the works, def can be awsome cars im sure you know but if ya dont check out grannys speed shop..

hes never taken it past 60 mph or 300rpms in gear. The car is WAY to powerful to be run on street tires, or with that stock rear end. He's mainly getting it ready for when his built 9" gets here so he can race in our last street legals. the car sheel hops once and the dif is in pieces.

N/A Mike, make sure take into consideration your underhood temps, this is the thing Parker is having the hardest time with... just something to think about!
