I think it's really important to make sure we're comparing to the k24 and not the 20.
the 24 actually makes good torque and winds out too.

but I got nothing against this setup

The dyno video was practically a waste of showing, we can't tell what the HP/torque numbers are.

99% of people won't read the description on an embedded video, since it isn't shown...

Great results either way!

I know I'm bring up a forum that has been dead for 14 months. I'm looking in to doing an Ecotec swap this year.

The cars I have owned I order

1993 Miata
2004 Miata
2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged
1996 Miata

Almost every day I owned the Cobalt I thought I love this engine, I just want this in a Miata chassis.

There’s a few ecotec swaps happening currently, myself and urbansoot to name a few. Few key notes, request the racer flywheel spacer and budget for a v8r subframe. Also a few of us have moved the passenger motor mount to make room for the exhaust.

You don't need to swap a subframe. The kit comes with engine mounts that bolt up to Miata subframe.

The reason for doing the V8R subframe is because routing an appropriately-sized exhaust (MT will tell you 2" is fine, they're wrong), is a ridiculous nightmare and/or impossible with the stock subframe.
