Default LS1 powered '93 RX7 track testing

Video( 985 KB) Testing at Alabama International Dragway.

Best pass of the day was an 11.8 @ 119mph. The car had a full interior and a 1/2 tank of gas.
Est weight: 2,865lbs w/o driver
Est HP: 350rwhp

The 11.8 @ 119mph is good base number our cars are expected to run. We left a lot on the table that day in terms of tuning and launching, so we'll retest again in early February.

More videos to come soon.....

That's just great, Brian. I really like that installation. I would really like to thank you for helping me find a 3rd gen RX7 and for having it delivered to your shop. All in just about 48 hours. I spoke to Mike at More Performance and my 500 HP 370" LS1 and T56,etc. out of my Z28 are all ready to go to your shop. I'll talk to you Monday about getting it there.
