Back in 1983, I purchased a new 12A powered FB RX-7.
I immdiately upgraded to a Weber 45DCOE and Rotory Performance exhaust.
Later after the engine was rebuilt with a "rally" port, I created a cold air box that used ram air from infront of the radiator, modified the Weber, extended the length of the header pipes by about 3 feet before they came together, and upgraded the suspension. Retuning gave me 185 whp.

A local owner recently found my cold air box and Weber at a parts place.
