400+ hp miata is awesome traction is 100% the killer. My car hooks with huge slicks on it. I cut the hell out of the fenders and stuffed some hoosier 26x8.5" tires under it it gets traction all the time. On the street I run Mickey Thompson et streets and even those strugle to put the power down below 60 mph. If you want 400hp listen to soviet or do an LS swap or something like that. But I can only say that if you really really want 400hp be prepared for tires and rear axles. With good street tires my car is a hunk of crap. Wheel spin like crazy all the way thru 4th gear. I am talking 90 mph violent rev limiter banging wheel spin. So that being said I love my car and how fast it goes and to me it still seems slow because all the guys I have out with have 650-1000hp cars lol

When you step on the gas four or more times, what parts are going to explode or fall off the car?
Will the car actually move in a forward direction efficiently with the power you are putting down?
Will the car actually stay on the road when turning?
If the car does leave the road, will you live or die?

I currently own a little turbo Miata I picked it up already boosted so it's "stock" to me
Needless to say it's getting a little boring at 200ish hp and I don't like the way it was done. The only way for me to feel like I actually did something is a crazy build my way. I've ridden In or driven a few ~300hp ones there fast no dought. I just want to feel like I really did something and I'm a little nuts I guess. Gary The guy that owns track dog racing (There local for me) asked me if I was "******* retarded" in his office.

Good luck. Please document how daily you drive this car after it has 450hp. Or rather how it is more of a "daily repair" car.

Just search miata on Dallas Craigslist.
He's trying to sell it.
I couldn't make heads or tails of the "dyno chart" but it may be because I'm unfamiliar with that software...
Not appealing to me. NA8 based
He just updated his post on CL for YOU 18PSI!
It is first on the list
