Did you get your motor built at RR&R? If so, do you know what the motor was rated at with flywheel hp?

Nick at RR&R built my motor a loooong time ago, and he quoted my dad at about 215flywheel horsepower. I surely hope that my "215 hp" engine is putting down more than 140 wheel horsepower.

RR&R did not build it, it was done by a friend who has been doing rotormotors for over 15 years. No hp #'s were quoted on the build, just what porting and parts would be included.

gsl-se 6 ports do make good torque with the whole 6 port setup and EFI. I'm pretty happy I made similar numbers with a carb and some mild porting.

the REPU handles well on the freeway offramps, etc but slow speed autocross it is understeering bad. Needs front alignment and more rear roll stiffness. I have some Gabriel air shocks for the back, just need new valves and I can install it.
