I can guarantee that if it is not ported, my stock port, stock turbo vert running 8psi would walk all over it. For $3700 you can usually get a nice turboII, For me, if it's not a 2000lb FB a non-turbo engine will just not be fast enough. My opinion is that his car is $700 too much, granted he probably spent $3000 putting that car together but nobody will ever get their money out of their modded FC. I'd offer him $3000 at the most (which I'm sure he'll feel offended.)

acuatally probably less than 140 hp, thats about how much a na makes with higher compression rotors.

i say run away as fast as you can and buy a real rx7 if you want one. dont buy somebodys elses headache. (from personal expereince)
