Where are these clowns all coming from? Seriously...

I'm getting old, just like Brain.

Step 1: Buy 444 horses. And two quarter-horses.
Step 2: put them in an extremely large bus-like vehicle with inclined treadmills or hampster wheels for each horse
Step 3: Run all the treadmills/hampster wheels to a centralized flywheel. Drive wheels of bus-like vehicle from flywheel. Transmission for changing the gearing ratios is optional.
Step 4: Tie a large rope from the rear axle of the extremely large bus-like vehicle to a part of the engine in a miata, such as the intake crossover tube, close hood on miata.

Calculating for 10% drivetrain loss, your miata now produces 400.05 wheel horsepower without burning gasoline!!!

To be fair, I'm tempted to forego my BEGi-S purchase and go with the taco kit because I think it would be spectacular to have a turbo miata "Powered by ILOVETACOTACO". I could get some epic vinyl, maybe a sponsorship... hmm...

Meh, just buy the Begi-s and get ilovetacotaco and mexican flag decals made to troll everybody into believing that is what you have.

Then post nitrodann's dyno plots as your own.

I plan on making 1000whp in my 3-cyl Geo Metro. I have all the parts, only cost me twenty bucks.

I actually do have one quarterhorse in my V8 Miata. Tuner of choice for 5.0's Just sayin.

That said I'm no where near 889whp. Maybe I should add another?
