        Its too bad they wont let me really drive it on the street like this. I am sure it would get old but it sounds pretty decent for being open headers. I have heard open exhaust from less powerful cars just sound like ass when you take the mufflers off.

          Welcome. I'm a part of a Ford Focus forum and one of the guys there had a FC with a ls1 and sold that, now he has a FD with a ls1. Sweet swap, definitely--you should go on the car cruise too

              most power for the money, get a junkyard LS3 truck motor and put a couple turbo's to it, 500+ hp without trying
              1993 Cadillac CST-V8 rear mount turbo, 12psi 10.56@123mph and burning up the ozone
              1995 Volvo 850 T5-R, 18psi with flashed ecu and bigger injectors, 315whp
              1973 Chevy Nova with a Volvo B230FT and 4L60E, seriously different.
              1994 Volvo 945, soon to be faster on 15psi

                Sorry forgot to mention weight balance too. I wanted to keep the stock weight balance of the rx7 Or else I would have just gotten an iron truck block, they are cheaper, and with truck manifold turbo setups and lower compression from the factory, makes it even easier to make power with them.

                  Yeah the funny part is that the ls1 is lighter than the rotary setup you took out I believe...

                        Prob not lighter, but should be within 50lbs overall, which is amazing still. If you swap one of the newer Rx7s (the FDs) your right though, the car actually gets lighter after the swap.

                        And still more reliable than the rotary could ever be at even half this power level, its really a great swap
