HAH! I was watching video's on Matt Farah's (of Garage 419 fame) new site, The Smoking Tire, and knew I had seen that white Miata with red wheels somewhere before. You're famous now.

I should be good (I've got a custom one in there so it'd be counter productive to go to a stocker..), if you have some motivation bottled up I'll take that, lol. My rad just has like a small pin hole in it....the shop over on west main (Perreaults) said they could do their thing for like $50, I just have to get off my fat *** and take that **** out already....

Stock motor holding 400whp?
This tells me that 300whp can be done and done reliably with the right tuning. I have a hunch that the bent and broken rods are due to the wasted spark setup on our cars, the dsm guys have the same issue at a lil higher power levels at 400whp they bend and break stock rods and at 550-600 or even less on e85 they are throwing eagles all day. I speculate that when you miss fire with wasted spark the fuel/air that is still in the cylinder gets ignited when the plug fires at bdc, the pistons is trying to come up against expanding gasses and the rod is at a terrible ratio with thew piston only half way up in the cylinder. Basically the same effect as detonation but at a point in the stroke where the force is put on the rod while it is at a sharp angle causing it to bend or break much easier then when it is nearly straight up and down. Once my custom manifold is done i will post up some numbers and see if i can change some peoples minds about the integrity of the stock rods. <all speculation, until i have done it or someone else has done it who knows maybe these rods really are only good for 250whp>

Ummm, funny how that kid thinks his non-lightened Miata with roughly 40-60lbs of extra turbo parts weighs just over 2k lbs. A full interior Miata with hardtop and a full turbo setup will weigh closer to 2340lbs. And that Kurt guy was the idiot who was always bragging up his rear mount setup on a few forums, yet never raced anyone.

1slowna great explanation, but i was talking about the 1.6 as a fully built engine, not stock rods. I guess i should have asked a different question.
Built bottom, fully built head with big cams...seems like theres not a lot of info out there.
