yeah um, took a visit to rt tuning, spun it on the rollers, it pulls all nice and linear just as a N/A rotary does then some point just after 7k the power trails off then the lines get all squiggily and jagged edge lookin then the power at 8500 (its peak) is 25 whp shy of normal....its makin more power at 7k than it is at 9k....thats not normal....

doing some research leads me in the direction of the coils taking a slow and painful dump....some rx8s have had their coils replaced and there is an updated part number and all so there must have been an issue with a few of them so i kno ill have them replaced but im just curious on the aftermarket side....

this is the first problem ive had with this car and im actually pretty surprised....

thus brought me to the normal Q we all have when replacing an oem part...are there aftermarket versions?

anyone have high performance coils? are they able to still spark at 10,000 rpm?
