Those are some pretty nasty numbers! I get lots of excitement driving these older cars with gobs of power! Sometimes I scare the daylights out of myself, but it's too fun to stop! What did you have done to you FC's motor, was it street ported or full on bridgeport?
I do recall a friend had a FB that always backfired a few minutes after you turn the car off for some reason. It was pretty hilarious parking in front of the grocery store with it!

That is kind of what lead to me selling mine.
I was driving it around one Saturday morning. I pulled into a pull off. I think I have video somewhere of this too. I pulled out with the video running, I have no idea why I even had it on. When I pulled out I did not take off very fast I was just cruising.
A bro-Dozer (Jacked up 4x4 truck) came flying up behind me and put his bumper inches off the back of me. I dropped two gears and floored it.
I pulled away from him fishtailing side to side in 2nd gear, grabbed 3rd, stayed in it, he was a dot in my mirror, I pulled a little of 4th then realized I needed to scrub speed for some turns coming up. I was probably hitting 110 at that point.
I scrubbed down to 80ish... made the first turn... then the next one was sharper, I was able to scrub some more and just made the turn at 60ish..... 40 MPH would have been quick. I was taking that turn entirely too fast for a public road.
I drove some more, subdued then headed home.
I was about 1 mile from home when I looked down and say my engine temp was 210 not kill the engine hot but more than I typically see. I pulled into a lot and discovered one of my E fan relays were melted..
I parked for a while and hot wired the second fan. Drove it home.
Repaired it.
Then put it on RX7 club for sale at a ludicrous price no one would pay for it.
I sold it 3 days later.
Big regrets to this day, I have a standing offer to buy back from new owner. I check in with him yearly.
