go the old fashioned way. Intake, carb, lightweight flywheel, clutch, dual exhaust. Not sure what this setup runs on a dyno(don't really care), buts its fun to drive and easy to maintain! Good luck.
Now everyone can start carb bashing!

These are some other things that I have thought about doing: Sending out the chip when I get the engine back, getting a header, doing a cold air intake system, getting rid of the air pump, lightweight flywheel, and a better clutch. Any gusses on what I will have for power? Anyone ever done these things before?

Now that the engine will be taken apart, you have the opportunity to gain 60% more power than stock through extend (street) porting and exhaust (header mainly).
Just extend porting my engine and dumping 200 pounds of weight turned my 87 into a decently quick machine, where it was just kind of peppy before. Ported engines take really well to adding exhaust mods, starting with a header (the most important part).

But I thought that you could not street port a RX-7 with the 5th and 6th intake ports, or atleast that was what I was told. How did you get 60% more power out of you engine, just doing the exhaust porting, or the intake and exhaust porting? And if you could tell me exactly what you did with your engine I would greatly appreciate it!
