did they email the runs to anyone, if so can that someone email mine to me, i think they had toms name on them though, but they should be the only ~150hp ones. I really curious about my a/f ratio because everyone is saying they're a point off because of the cat, well i don't have a cat. what gives?

As for the AFR, theoretically b/c the cat uses up 02 in some of the reactions to reduce emissions, a post-cat AFR (such as a tailpipe sniffer) will be not as accurate as a pre-cat AFR depending upon how well your cat works. Since your car has no cat, your AFR should be pretty accurate.

Does anyone know how a Dynojet works? How does it take into account what gear you are in, or what tire size, or what rear end ratio? All I saw was an RPM pickup on a spark plug wire, and obviously it knows the drum speed. OK cool, it knows engine acceleration and drum acceleration, but your gear selection affects each. Obviously I have more "rear wheel" hp/torque in 1st than in 5th...I'm trying to think of a way the dynojet can calculate rwhp/tq regardless of gear selection with just those 2 inputs.
If he just entered the standard ratios from a 1992 miata (from some dynojet book/database???) then I guess my numbers are off because I have a 3.90 rear instead of the original 4.30's. I think Tom is running a 4.10 torsen too. What about tire size/diameter? I know my 16" toyos are about an inch larger in diameter than my 15" proxies. Thoughts?

I've dynoed a several times in different gears and the HP difference is 1-2HP at most, especially with the close ratio in the miata. It may be different in a car with longer gearing.

I've done the same on 2 dynojets. Ran a 3rd and 4th pull and saw no difference in the numbers.
Brad got a new fuel filter and said it's running better, but it stumbles in high rpms.
Can someone tell me why I didn't throw my MBC sitting in my passenger seat on for one run?
Once Brad gets a new pump and we think it's good to try again we'll go to a dyno locally and see what we can do. I'll try to run 10psi with 5:1 rise and see what she can do. Most likely with what I estimate 210/185.
If we get enough people next time, after we do our dyno tuning we should drive 20 mins south to Cecil County Drag Strip and have her a go! But hopefully we can get more members out, definitly a ton of fun!

Well, you lose torque after 5.5k, but so does an S2000, until the second cam comes on: http://www.flyinmiata.com/tech/dyno_...99TvsS2000.pdf
Difference is, the S2000's valvetrain and engine are designed and built to make power at 8000+ RPM, while the Miata's is not.
I'd guess you'd have to a do quite a bit more work to take any real advantage of power at higher RPM. Or you could advance your intake cam timing one tooth...
