So, David, you can RELAX!
I'm coordinating with Weir to make available his solid pinion spacers (AKA billet distance pieces).
Once that's arranged, I'll start a new thread announcing that I'm taking orders.
Thanks for your interest!

I posted this little chart I made in Bob's blown-up 6 speed thread already but it shows a 3.3 with a Miata 6 speed. As mentioned, you are going to need some serious WHP to make 6th remotely useful as a top speed gear not to mention, where the hell would you use it?
I was shocked how close it makes a 6 speed to the gears of 5 speed with a 4.1 but with a crazy overdrive gear if you are cruising in a street car. Anyone have thoughts on the usefulness of this gear spacing on the track and what kind of power and torque curve you would need to have it make sense with the wider spaces?

Comparing the 6+3.3 and 5+4.1 the speeds where you shift will be very similar, but the rpm drop will be much less with the 6+3.3 (exactly the same as for any combination with the 6sp ) so you will spend much more time in a shorter rpm range.
