Ok today I went down to talk to the tuner and he said it will be around $250 to get the car tuned. So I will be looking to do it before Christmas but worst case at the beginning of the year. This means come beginning of January I will have some nasty vids to post if all goes well

I am planing on getting the car tuned soon after the first of the year. I have a lot of stuff going on right now so I may just start putting the cage in until it is ready to get tuned. I will let everyone know when its time so you guys can be ready for pics and vids.

I want this wing or something close to it. I love the way it looks and the fact that it is functional is just a huge plus.

I was curious about intakes for your motor- I remember slosc3 saying that at some point you were going to put a drivers side intake on--
Is it one like this thing? ebay link

That is ridonkulously cheap. I read the manual on the APEXI FMIC er I mean SFAC and it seems pretty straightforward. It should be absolutely brutal with boost!

They also make that manifold for the GE and yes Slow_Sc3 is correct I will end up with one one day most likely the end of next year. I am going to take the extra manifold Slow_Sc3 has at the house and make a base flange at work then machine a section out of a piece of 3" or 4" tube make a back order a throttle body flange and give it to SLow_Sc3 to weld. Get some injectors and AEM then boom 550 WHP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no intention of keeping the exhaust through the hood for a long period of time it is just an easy way to do it for now. It is not nearly as loud as you would think but truth is the car is going to draw all sorts of attention by the police and the exhaust will just be an excuse for them to pull me over. I am just undecided on where I want to run it there is not a whole lot of room for it so I have to plan carefully but I am hoping by the end of next summer to have a full exhaust at least to the rear axle with a turn down at a minimum. For now though the flapper keeps the water out and is cool, but I do belive the exhaust through the hood will get old and my hood is all f***ed up so I need a need a new one, so one 3" hole won't hurt anything.

miata needs more fuel im at +50% on the afc from 4k to 8k rpm's and its still lean :( anything over 12psi just breaks up and sputters.... tho trying to drive while keeping the boost around 10psi feels amazing... sucks the wastegate is a 1 bar aka 14.7 psi spring. "bad as6" got a short video tho we did end up putting like 5-6 miles on the miata tonight
