Paul,
Can you send me the last RX8 Dyno test please - in all the excitement, I
seem to have misplaced it.

Here it is plotted with the stock engine HP and torque.

The second one is probably what you would get with fuel injection.
I.E. No venturi to screw up the results.

Do you think you can do a run up to 8200rpm  and see what power is
available?  With a shorter manifold it should be about 300Hp unless the side
exhaust ports don't breath as well as the P-Port exhaust.

The torque is already falling off at 7500 RPM.
We can't shorten the present runners as we would get into the tube bends.
All we have right at the moment is the downdraft Weber.

Maybe when I get the new slide carb working.

I am pleasantly surprised about the side exhaust. It does not seem to
hurt. Of course total exhaust port area is now 17% more than the old
peripheral port exhaust. We are getting more power with the RX8 P-port
than we got with a 2nd gen P-port. Here are charts from both of them.

The RX8 p-port has everything. More power, idles better, lower EGT,
quieter and recycles unburned fuel. What is not to like? :)
