Just tuning it like everyone else does, no chart or anything. If you need a turbo tune I'm sure someone has posted one somewhere before you can use as a starter.

Car is getting an aluminum 5.3 now, 9" rear end along with a big hoosier quick time pro, and has a PTC converter(too tight so its back getting restalled). Now I'll be able to get back in the mid 1.4x 60fts and probably make another 150rwhp. Hopefully will have it done in 3-4 weeks for some testing.

That's nice.

How much is a 3rd Generation (1992-1995) RX7 with LS1 worth?



Heard it is very light, 2200Ib or less!

Those don't go cheap, and they aren't that light, most are 2800lbs or so.

Uhhh dude, You're the one who needs to go read up. He is 100% right.

If you didn't know that your fuel partially evaporates, and that evaporation cools the charge, then you might not want to offer your opinion on subjects like this anymore... It's basic chemistry.

Alcohols have a MUCH higher cooling effect than gasoline. Go pour some rubbing alcohol on your hand and let it evaporate.

This is how I can go from only running 16lbs of boost on pump gas to 26lbs with methanol injection. Yes, meth effectively raises the final "octane" of the fuel but the HUGE drop in charge temps are what impress me the most.

Meth injection is essentially a chemical intercooler.

Not trying to be a dick, but you're completely wrong and you tried to shut someone else up who is right...
