Oh man, a 200whp miata is just unreal. Regardless of where the manifold pressure comes from, 200whp makes these cars unreal. Yes, it takes a lot of money to do this and make it track-able in the summer...but its worth every cent. Name a car that will reliably do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, hold over 1g, and get 30mpg+...I bet its at least 3x what I paid from start to finish.Quote:

I need to learn more about tuning to take it further and fix the torque drop at redline.
Its a lot of fun...and remember that dyno dynamis dynos typically read 10-12% lower than dynojet.
Great Job
I want one...
it keeps telling me to put lotion on my skin. :confused:Quote:

Were you there today?Quote:

Understood, we ended up leaving right after you called anyway.
Oops, read the results wrong (was comparing you pax time to their real time). But you would've gotten 3rd.

After some discussion with a few people who know a lot more than I do the torque roll-off may be caused by the stock intake plenum...some people with engineering degrees seem to think its not big enough and needs shorter runners. I've had a hard time finding 250wtq+ dynos from cars with 99-intakes. srebmun onyd s'mf eveileb t'nod I
Dyno looks friggin awesome... but do your torque panties do a happy dance when you press the loud pedal?
I want one.
yes:Quote:

5th gear from 70-110mph or so. Imagine if I were in the correct gear, lol.

I want to get into the most challenging field possible after seeing what Danny Pedrosa does out there. I'm hooked because its a part of motorsports that I enjoy, although I still prefer roadcourse action by far.
Good to hear you're going to give autox a try. You're daily driver may fit better in STS than CSP. I'm sure I'll see you at an autocross or the track soon.Quote:

sm2 is now called ssm. They killed the #'s because it was confusing at events.Quote:

I'm not even surprised dude, your making huge power, it was all seasons for christ's sake, and plus that's what you get for trying to use 4th gear on the highway, JEEZ what were you thinking.:rolleyes::D
I was just casually accelerating from a light in 4th at 3800rpm...where the torque comes on the hardest. Tonight I'm going to have a sit-down with my car and we're going to talk about how much power we want to make and if where we sit now is a little excessive.Quote:

Its easy to say that I only need 12psi (240whp/230wtq)on the track, but its hard to say that 18psi (300/285) can't be enjoyed on the street with a 6-speed.
almost done adding stuff

The cops were an almost unnoticable gain in "generally running better." Basically the fast recovery on idle was better, but I probably could have gotten in close with some tuning. The real magic will come when I go from .02 to .045 plug gap on the dyno in the next couple of weeks. That much more spark should help make even more torque. Right now, even at .02 I have spark blow-out when its cool out. This is already fixed.
Yummy!! :clap:
Wags said your car excited him so much it made him tinkle in the seat this weekend, so it has to be good... ::Banana::
I wanna ride that pony.
That wasn't tinkle......Quote:

this car looks like garbage. I wish I stuck with 99-wheels.
Hopefully the big, 9" bronze wheels will look this good. I rolled around Austin last night with these wheels, and at least 100-women offered themselves to me.
