Here's the latest dyno, 17.5#, 92 octane pump gas and no meth. I will probably dumb it down quite a bit to make my first few track days in her a little easier.

I'm going to take 3 degrees of timing out of all boosted cells and use it as a low boost tune for lapping days and stuff. For street/drag strip use I will run the Mickey Thompsons, about 23-28 pounds of boost and the meth.
As for the manifold, I'm running it with a few tweaks. It will continue to be developed through a different fabricator.

Probably not to be honest. I'm going to try and get it to run 11.5s consistently for this year at the drag strip. Most of this year is going to be spent doing more regular driving, some schools and a few lapping days. Might be an addition to the family this year, so I'm starting to plan for that.

I'm too cheap to go crazy on any platform other than a Miata. This will be my last slow car I mod to make fast. In the future, when I buy a toy it will be fast in its stock form (power wise). Then when I do outgrow it and want something faster, I will just sell it and buy something else instead of modding it to make more power.

Yeah, the knock threshold was a little too low so it pulled timing. Didn't realize this was what was happening until the car was off the dyno. Although it's smoother, the built engine is much noisier than my stock engine.
