Saw something like that on Star Trek once.

Is it Grey?
Yep. Turbo 20B. Same guy that had the blue SR20 240Z that John Coffey did the engine swap in. He'd likely blow the doors off of a mild V8 240Z... -
You have nice heads, the cam isn't that big and what is the compression? If you really want to be fast, it isn't going to be that streetable, you just have to have your priorities. I'm going to guess that if that's a 350, your around 400ish FWHP and about 300rwhp.
That sounds about right, its streetable.... I belive my compression last check is around 10.4:1 or so... its fast enough to keep up with 90% of Domestics and Imports so i am happy... I have come to the realization its not a Ferrari.
Once i get all my stuff put on at beta motorsports Ill be rocking the autocross tracks...
LoL John C is selling me parts and building my Kryptonite...... John seriously no more scary RX-8 stuff

Umm I am doing Jump school in about 3 months........ all i can tell you is I cant believe they are going to pay me to get my adrenaline fix.....

Since i got in the military I've upgraded my SBC a lot....
AFR 195cc Street Heads
Hydraulic roller with 0.509 inch intake / 0.528 inch exhaust lift and 222 degree intake / 230 degree exhaust duration at 0.050 tappet lift
FelPro 1010 Head Gasket (0.039")
Edelbrock Victor Jr. single plane intake manifold
Holley Blue Fuel Pump
Mallory Magneto Ignition system
that's the major things off the top of my head right now...
as for loss of power It might be, I stopped using octane booster..but I don't know it still a very quick car around, i think i would notice any significant power loss. For Christs sake its an Pink Motor.... (www.edpink.com) As for was it an Rx-8.... I am sure it was an RX-8.. no other production car is that ugly (except the Aztec)......
So i guess Lesson learned? I am not the Fastest thing on 4 wheels, there will always be a guy who has more money, more time, and more power then me, and i need to grow up and deal with it and stop racing the rice....
(just a side note.... the reason i don't take it to the track is, my insurance will be cancelled if they find out its a "race car", according to my agent if they can prove its been raced on a track, then they wont insure it b/c their insurance dose not cover race cars... or something like that... scream BS all you want I've got a butt load of money into my car, and would like to keep my car insurance
)
-
yes I know No more street racing......
I just have poor Umm impulse controll... maybe I ought to get a car that attracts less attention... anyone got some fairly rusted 14 pannels and maybe a hood that is rusted through or has holes?

College is a bad addiction.... i say we help you drop out..... :hands you car parts:

Rolled Up on a BRAND NEW with paper plates RX-8.... though he was a total ricer, Kid didn't look more then 20-21, Nice wheels, some light body kit, he rev'd on me (i though it was a lawn mower at first), i humoured him and gave it a big rev on the small block, he kept looking over and made it seem like he was trying not to laugh.... kinda pissed me off but i knew i was going to stomp him when the light turned. Instead he kept up with me and by the time we hit the freeway on ramp I was in 3rd next thing i know the Rx-8 takes off, I dumped it into 4th and just cried as the RX-8 Pulled away at 110+....
Is there some new Turbo kit for the them? (I didn't hear the turbo whine, or tell tail BOV sounds) Better Factory Set up? something i missed with the Mazda Crowd? or did this kid have money to burn on the most bad asses sleeper I've seen in a long time? (god paper plates = Good Sleeper Potential)

Adrenaline rushes are far more addictive then Cancer cookies... and i get mine at $3.00/gal.....

and got addicted to Bazooka Joe.... I am now a pack a day chewer >_>

Meh, The BMW is a VERY potent weapon in the right mechanics hands (expensive)... the 240z is lethal in any 2bit mechanics hands (cheap)...
