Speaking of high powered rotaries, I had the pleasure of tuning an engine
that I modified and built for a buddy of mine in his 2nd generation Mazda
Rx7 just yesterday afternoon.  After it was said and done, at a boost
pressure
of 13psi, the vehicle made just over 430hp and 330ft/lbs of torque to the
drive wheels, running air-to-fuel ratios between 10.60:1 and 11.20:1.

Not bad for a 16 year old engine (Series 4 1988 block) with nothing fancy
done to it except some oil modifications.  :)  It just keeps getting better
and better, folks.  You guys really picked a great powerplant to work with
for your application.  As Paul has said numerous times, we're really only
beginning to scratch the surface with these engines.
