The only way it'd be worth it is if it was turbocharged, but that's highly unlikely due to epa and emissons standards becoming more and more strict.

I do however need to post a thread for this sick 8.5:1cr turbocharged renesis rx8 were building for a customer. should be well over 400whp when its done.
