I didn't know rotarys could have headers, i thought one would be enough for the 12a.

Technically speaking, there's not even a cylinder head on a rotary, so they shouldn't even be called "headers" if you want to get picky...but if you want to talk and be understood in the performance community, then using the common lingo of the piston world is well advised as opposed to trying to make your own confusing terms and/or translations...

^heh thats true

12as can handle boost just fine as long as you are smart about it and tune it right. If you have around 8 or 900 dollars you can get a decent turbo setup going (with some good deals)

Carb


Also look at the cheap power improvements and suspension upgrade threads at the top of the forum.

Just get the best carb Sterling and Carl can build and then work the exhaust to take advantage of it. Later on down the road when you streetport your engine, it'll still be up to the task with a bit of tuning.
