Using a dyno you Average those readings and even if we allow the first one in its at best a sustainable 181. Thats 6hp from a rotary. If you'll check some of my other posts on this subject, a show on SPEED is doing an upgrade on a Acura RSX-S This car shows 210RWHP. They installed a cold air intake specially designed for the car and measured 4-6 RWHP with the hope that they will pick up an additional 2 @100mph from ram air effect.
i never showed you an rx8. and further, how can you argue with the 9 or 11 whp gain that was shown, its on the freakin graph. no stock rsx is rear wheel drive. where do you get your info from bro? and no rsx-s has ever put anything near 210 F(thats front, not rear) wheel horsepower down.
