I have a 1986 Non turbo Rx-7 recently installed a new engine... well. used with 80,000 miles.. I must admit the engine runs great... I also have a standard cone intake, and Borla cat backs, with no cat converters. My question is. With headers, will the car be faster, if the answer is yes... where in the power band will i feel more power?? down low? up high? where in the rev range. Also, should i have gotten the engine Ported while i was having it installed?
I appreciate any help you guys can give
1986 Gxl. 208,000 on Chassis... 80,000 on engine
Intake, Borla Catbacks, Bonez Race pipe.
Looking to do : Turbo 2 Secondary injectors, Headers/Midpipe.
Thanks. Markus

Umm, wrong area to post this...I think you need to be over in the Second gen forum buddy 
But since Im here, I gained alot of TOP end from my RB header on my SP N/A. Down low really didnt do anything, but 5500 and up, I can feel the difference from my stock manifold. Alot of people conplain about the noise...I don't think its bad? I'm running a RB header, NO silencer or cat, to N1 dual exhaust. Sounds wicked. Hope this helps ya.

Longer as it, straight off the block right? Yeah, I've heard something like that...I think it was a guy with a GSL-SE that built his own custom headers that built them, and dynoed them multiple times to find the right length and stuff....I just bought em

too bad, headers is not allowed in SCCA stock class.
oh, and there is this one fully race preped 1st gen kicking everyone's *** at buttonwillow last week (female driver) that car had a 2nd gen manifold on it.
