Forgive me guys, but I need a few straightforward answers that I've had a tough time getting answered.

1. What is the best all-encompassing source (online preferably,) that lists the best ways in which to pull at least 250whp from a 1.8 '99 ............. or you could set aside the chagrin you feel for my n00bnish and the annoyance at how redundant this question is and answer it .

2. I can't seem to find this answer for this: what is the best transmission for a Miata that will most likely have a very dynamic power range?

1) this site
2) any miata transmission, preferably the 6speed

Oh, really? What average power range can a Miata 5speed transmission withstand?

Also, can you point me to said comprehensive post?

5spd gets sketchy around 300whp, give or take. 6spd 400whp, give or take.

Check the general FAQ section, as well as the DIY Turbo section. All your answers are there.

5-speeds are beyond sketchy at 300whp. Most people break them at the 250-275whp mark, give or take a few. 6-speeds will last for a while at 325-350 on a road course or ~400 in a street car, but at those power levels you should be able to afford a spare box in the garage just in case.

If you're running enough power to need a sturdier transmission, make sure you also run the older (90-93) rear end. The new ones just don't hold up to the power - they don't make 'em like they used to.
