for whatever reason I thought you were talking about a mustang...

so is that as high as you have built her to go? or is there just not the support to get her to spin higher?

My motor is stock

9K is the factory redline, but spoon blocks can spin up to 11000 if you're willing to drop $6k for a short block.

just sayin...

well duh, its a rotary. your car gets shit for milage anyway. it has a low compression ratio so cant really take advatage of the ethanol. boost it, (or get high compression rotors) then get it tuned on E10 and you will be faster AND get better milage. youll never wanna go back to E0. plus what year is it? you might wanna upgrade the o2 sensor also.

by the way you dont use 93 octane in that do you?
