Thx Sick! Putting down around 317 RWHP with N20 and bolt-on's. Those runs against the RX-8 were without the juice

u got 317rwhp, the rx8 probably have 220rwhp max. stock is lower than that. very unmatched. it'll maybe be closer if it was a 0-100mph run. highway run with your ~100hp advantage isn't even a match. you're just playing with the crippled.

0-100 mph would be just as much of a slaughter. As was shown in the video. Question? How do you know how much RWHP he is putting down to the ground? He has almost just as many mods as I do, AND he has N20 installed also. So yes he doesn't have as much RWHP as I, but it's more than what you're guessing.

I'm not saying that it won't be a slaughter but that it'll be closer of a match. I own a RX8 so i know a little bit about the renesis. a stock RX8 dynoed, the highest/best seen on rx8club.com would be ~207rwhp. a TURBOed (Greddy) 5.5psi, there are multiple rx8 turbo with greddy but none have gone a lot higher than 240rwhp. most turbo rx8 is giving around 220-225. the rx8 don't gain good power thru aftermarket parts as of yet. Only recently that the rx8 got a highend fuel controller (interceptor-x) to control the factory spec'd rich condition. I doubt a n2o would do better than a boost rx8. there's a few rx8club.com member with n2o but some have high rpm power dips with it. blame the ecu.

if you race a rx8 turbo with the interceptor-x or equvalent piggyback, it'll be more of a match. an N/A, n2o, even a greddy turbo rx8 won't beat a mod japanese muscle car. the 350z might have a newer engine but its still a traditional v6 which will have more proven hp gaining parts. I'm not ******* the rx8 but its not gonna catch up to you until a company make some real hp gainer unlike greddy that just slap POS parts together to get some quick money from eager rotaryheads.
