Me thinks it's dyno time!
After 4 long months getting it together, I think it's ready to get strapped to a loaded dyno for some fine tuning.
I drove it for 6 days straight without a single thing failing, i think thats a record. So far my street tune is pretty spot on. New intercooler is badass.

Then I just drove to and from work, making sure to hold a lot of cells in cruise and hit some boost. My drive is 15-20 minutes, lots of good data to use, stop and go and a bit of 60mph cruising.
Every time I'd log it and MLVer it once I reached my destination. Then as the tune got better, I stated using "very hard" in MLV so it only makes changes if it absolutely deemed it necessary.
This morning I just turned Accel Enrichments on. And now I'm just tuning them.
The biggest reason for the dyno is to tune the spark map for my engine, the last piece of the puzzle. I'll probably add a wee bit more boost before then.

wow, i am amazed at how you guys dont even use knock sensors to tune.....tuning my 2 subaru's and the other 10 that i did with rom raider, i rely heavily on knock sensors (knock correction, feedback knock correction, fine learning knock correction) to tell me when to back off the timing or get on it. also are you using a wide band to monitor afr's? sorry if these are annoying/noobish questions, but im really looking forward to tuning my miata myself like the suby's

the 90-94 can "see" knock. spark timing is low enough and AITs low enough where I know it's not going to knock. I've run a lot more advance before, with a smaller ICer and more boost. I need to go to a loaded dyno to tune the spark better, so i can actually see/hear/know when i get ping when.
