Five mid to low 13 quarter mile runs from the track a few weeks ago. The challange remains to be getting traction on an open diff and street tires. The car is a 1986 RX-7 with a 6 port turbo engine, small bridgeport, GT4088R at 13 PSI, custom exhaust and intake manifolds, Microtech LT8s and and too many other mods to list. Last dyno the car made 387 RWHP at 297 FT-LBs of torque at 13 PSI. The car makes too much power to get out of the 13s due to wheel spin, so the next upgrade is going to be a limited slip differential.

really nice car ..I'm wanting to get an rx7...looks like a hard shift to 2nd though...really jolts ...guess that's just powershifting for ya lol...but nice runs
Dude... nice car... I like those old RX7's. Should be excellent when you get an LSD... Times will be easily 12's. But seriously, that tyre spin you can "hear" when you changed into 4th was not your car, it's the next car in line doing a pretty lame burnout attempt. In the last run, you hear what sounds like clutch slip into 4th, which you have pointed out is traction loss, but no audible squeal.
What do you mean by TURBO-NA??? Isn't "NA" Naturally Aspirated, which of course a Turbo isn't NA?
As I was in the car, I watched the tach shoot towards redline when the passenger side tire let loose. Unfortunately with the poor quality of the video you can't see the wisp of smoke from the rear tires. The noise of my engine was drowned out by the guy doing the burnout. Don't worry about the clutch slipping because it was not. It's a copper 6 puck with an upgraded pressure plate. By "turbo NA" I mean an NA engine with a turbo added, as opposed to a TII swap.
