"This is the actual battlewagon originally modified by HKS in California for the Bonneville Salt Flats. This stock-blocked RX-7 generated an estimated 390hp @ 7200rpm(boost-??) with only bolt-ons and out on the Flats it posted many 180+mph run s with a best of 191mph. The complete article was then featured on Turbo magazine in January of '89. Presently, the car is daily-driven and raced only when necessary. The motor will soon wake up with 14-15psi of boost and 8000rpm shifts(6500rpm-now).--Can't wait."
