Check out this RX7 we just finished

Customer is flying in tomorrow to watch us dyno. Engine is street port w/ a single Precision T63 turbo. Hoping to get 500rwhp tomorrow. I know it doesn't sound like much to you guys here but it'll be capable of 130mph trap speeds (hopefully). BTW, check out the custom air intake we built. Pulls cold air from behind the front bumper

No, its just becoming more and more common amongst the FD crowd. IMO the FC's (the model in your link) are fvkin ugly. I see lots of FC guys droppin in LT1's and older sbc's under the hood.

I hope you mean he has an LS1 with a procharger because he'd be an idiot to take a car that's TT from the factory and put a supercharger on it.

An LS1 swap is the greatest thing for an RX-7. It makes it reliable.
