I had slicks on. Just didnt launch hard bc i didnt wamt to break anything my first time out. 127 mph with a really good 60' is a high 10 sec pass.
My goal for the night was 130mph but its not making the power for that. I need to set up ffs

First off, congrats. 127 is MOOOVING, and in a miata its absolutely mental. IMO anything over 120 trap in a miata feels like rocket-ship speed.
Trap speed does kinda point towards high 300's/low 400's power, but if you launched it soft and didn't FFS that might explain it.
Bay looks fantastic as always. Out of curiosity: how much of a pain is having it dump fumes into your face? Do you street drive this car?

As far as the exhaust, the only negative is the volume. I street drive occasionally to datalog/test and the fumes are non existent.

Here is the run. 2 step at 5500rpm. Doesnt build boost. I basically dumped the clutch, it spun immediately. Then hooked and bogged. I have a lot of work to do on the launch and shifting. Hooking up ffs right now. Hoping for mid 11s and 130mph the next time I go

So here's my latest pass. Went 128.87. Would've went 130+ but I hit rev limiter in 4th before the finish.
I cant get the car to hook up. As you can see in video, it spins off the line then bogs 2nd gear.
To launch I would go full throttle on launch control (4500rpm) then release the clutch pedal until the car moved forward then dump it the rest of the way. Spun every time even at 4000rpm
