Well, the only thing I had was an intake and it was 100 degrees outside so I doubt it was doing my any good, it was on a mobile dyno.
It's still running really rich, even with the SAFC leaning it out according to the dyno guys, they want me to come back and get it tuned with them next week.
Are these decent numbers for an RX7 with 83k miles on the engine? I figured a little more but like I said it was 100 degrees outside.
AFAIK, the spark plugs and wires were replaced (doesnt look like it to me) and the oil was changed, the oil looked like crap so I changed the oil and filter...spark plugs looked fouled out but they are NGK's, I've also got rusted out exhaust so I have a feeling that could be causing it?
Also most of the bushings are shot in my car, could I be loosing power through that? I want to get my car back up to stock spec short of rebuilding it before putting the turbo on...
Run 1, 3 = 3rd Gear Pull
Run 2 = 4th Gear Pull (maxed out at 150mph he said before vibrations got bad)
This was with the SAFCII at -10% through the whole range and some ebay intake filter on there.

Come to find out the 5th/6th ports were FROZEN shut, we yanked them out tonight and you couldn't blow through them at all they were so gunked up.
BUT, here's the kicker, the rod goes from actuator to the sleeves into intake manifold BROKE with us trying to get them to rotate, so we just removed the sleeves and let it run wide open all 6 ports.
The power is SO much better...getting another dyno in a few weeks...
