Default Dynoed the RX7.

I got my car on the dyno at Icon Autosports to get some baseline numbers. Did one pull with the cutouts closed and another open.Now its time for a new cam.

Just got two 3 inch QTP cutouts where i have to unbolt the plates to open them. Draws way to much attention to ride around on the street with them open.
