. Buy an exhaust and Power FC used for the best price. The rx7store and rx7.com are great. However, I personally would buy it from rx7.com. I've spent q good chunk of money with both vendors over the years. Rx7store often takes a while to ship things(not necessarily an issue if you know up front). Jason at the RX7store does a really good job, but I like Ari at rx7.com more. He is absolutely great when it comes to tech support.

Ari with rx7.com is the man! Super helpful and a funny guy...... Tunning the car = Ray Wilson.

BTW... Go big on that turbo. Its never ever enough....

Phil is too shy to talk about it but they used to really close pals!

Sorry if this sounds beggy but does anyone know of any good books. yes books, on EMS tuning, or turbo theory. I see there are a lot of options for A/R and divided housings and stuff. and I haven't learned what they mean. I am still in highschool and taking classes but most of what i know came from building a camaro with my dad.

Like Phil (Herblenny) stated, check out Westbrook's notes on tuning the PowerFC. His username is cewrx7r1

If you go with BNR stage 3 check out my Rich Mans Non Seq modification to inhance the flow of the twins . I rework the four cast iron parts of the exhaust . That with the BNR set up will be the best improvement using the stock twins .

+1 on the RA super seals, aka super blacks..
tunning- get a reputable tuner, tunning is key!!!
i have 99 specs. love the twins in seq, but if youre if you dont already have either i think single will be easier to get the powere ur looking for (but both are capable of the 450 range, believe bnrs are getting maxed out by then?)

blowing up? premix, AI, oil changes, maintanence to max, keep it cool, monitor your temps!!

ps what kind of engine work do you have? any porting?

Ya it's got a large streetport. Had an apprenticeship with a guy who helped my uncle build his 9 second cutlass. Ya apparently the RAs are good for 45PSI.
