I feel like this question applies to virtually every engine we could be playing with. 4-6-8 cyl, in the 6500/7000rpm redline area.

I wasn't thinking exhaust restriction. What about air filter, plumbing from air filter, throttle body, etc. In fact, a large exhaust shouldn't let the engine create a vacuum. If it can't get it out, i ... |

Are you using MAF or MAP in your setup? I'd like to see if you're pulling a vacuum at 5k. I assume you degreed the cam? |

Where does one get a good reman these days? Autozone and O'Reilly's have the same description so I assume it comes from some wholesale cheap re-builder plant. 3yr unlimited mile warranty isn't bad tho ... |

Hey now, I went through everything on that RX-7. I agree on some sides about build quality, however this thing you'd think had 70k on it. It's early 80's electrical, most mfg had issues there. Easy fi ... |
