Haha I would hope so!

Maybe by the time I have real money to do things, you'll find a local shop that knows how to make a motor that puts up with constant track abuse.

To me, it just seems like a decent time/cost saving move to just get a basic 949 blueprinted motor instead of jacking with machine shops that may or may not actually know what they are doing with a Miata motor. Plus, your going to get some more HP with any configuration of the 949 motor. Win-win.

When I look at how much valve trouble you went through with the Red car so far, I just think about how much track time you have lost, and how much more wrench time you have put into it.

The good thing is, you probably have one of the fastest Miata head pulling times in the country
