Boosting a first gen 7 is a waste of time and money. 12As were not built for boost, so to get any decent amount of power out of them and not grenade the thing two blocks from your house, you have to get inside the engine and dosome costly mods.Plus, you want something to just thrash, again, rotary motors are not good for that. Sure you can drive the hell out of them, but they take a special touch and a lot of attention.

If you want a first gen, find one cheap (not hard, I've seen ones with everything working on them for $350 before) and drop in a Chevy 350 or 400. In a lot of states, anything older than 20 years doesn't have to conform to the same emissions standards so you can swap motors a lot easier. 350s and 400 can make serious power on the cheap, and first gens have a fairly open front chassis that makes it easy to weld up a brace to mount the SBC.

In the end, it comes down to this....If it's cheap and fast, it won't be reliable. If it's cheap and reliable, it won't be fast. If it's fast and reliable, it won't be cheap. Cheap, fast, reliable.Pick two, because you CAN'T have all three.

And with rotaries, you can only pick one....
