Since it looks like your HP peak was around 6950 on the graph and the graph says you stopped the pull at 7150-7200 or so, if you actually ended the pull at 7500 then you have about 300 or more RPM skew. Take your 97 ft. lbs. at 6900 and adjust it up by 300 rpm to say you ran 97 ft. lbs. at 7200, then recalculate. (97x7200)/5252 = 132.9779 HP roughly.

I'm sure it does. But they were doing 20 cars that day and wanted to be done by 2pm. Didnt happen because of a Hydra car that managed to make 148whp @ 15psi on a 3071 FM2 setup. Seriously amazing.

He is finally listening to us! Did you dyno yours Marcus?
My engine ate the throttle body screw at the track, now I ditched the turbo and got a 6 speed/vvt. Should be fun at the 129 next year

I wanted to get on the dyno, but couldn't make it. We raced about 30-90mph maybe. It was scary even and we would only pull a nose/half a car on each other when we shifted. Ben's car feels faster while driving, so I was surprised we were that close. Especially since my car had about ~100lbs on his with the roll-bar and soft top. Once Ben installs the cam, manifold, the Haltech, and then sorts out the suspension setup it will be a properly fast car.

He told me you ditched the turbo setup, it'll be a blast but man I'll miss that death-metal noise!

The BP5A computer has no OBD functionality so the OBD port in our cars is dead. Wouldn't have worked.

And when you're dealing with Miatas all wearing different ignitions, meh.

Really doesn't bother me. I'll see what it does on a Dynojet in October.

Right? I think we exceeded the limit by 5mph. At least according to my super optimistic Mazda factory speedometer.

Got your headlights.
They need polished.
You sure there's nothing else you need from this NB?
This is my last trip.

Non-power mirrors?

My ears are still buzzing.
This thing is loud. And fast.
It's the gearing. It's just always in the sweet spot of the powerband.
