Indianapolis, IN - Recently the RX7 Revolution event staff polled RX7 owners on the topics that would most benefit them and their cars.
One of the uppermost topics voted on has been tuning your rotary vehicles. So, we went out and brought in one of, if not, the best. Steve Kan of Gotham Racing (www.gothamracing.com) will be speaking on “Basic Tuning Technique with Datalogit and Haltech Overview” during the 11:00 – 11:45 AM Seminar during the day on April 26th, 2003.
Mr. Kan will be covering such issues as:
Understanding how a/f ratio affects performance and reliability
Understanding the types of tuning
How to tune timing in a rotary
How to tune a/f ratio in a rotary
How to adjust split timing for best performance
How far can you boost based on fuel octane rating
Understand basics of compensation maps

Come on, what's a few extra hours driving between friends 
I'm about to make the event even more hard to resist over the next few days. Finalizing what I hope are deals with Pettit and Rotary Performance soon. And just waiting for the write-ups for press releases on the next two session/seminar speakers.
