I only told you to try it, with the disclaimer that I didn't have specific experience with the Miata engine. And later I also admitted that you may have hit the sweet spot for this particular engine. Doesnt hurt my credibility any cause I've actually worked for Suzuki R&D before.

For a completely new vehicle program, 40-60 engineers, and a program start-to-finish of about 3 years. I'm not even counting the hours on that.

For a race engine the time is more like 75-150 hours, mostly spent on WOT durability and transients. Less than 50% of that time is spent on the dyno. The driver is a significant part of the equation. Especially if we dont have data or a dyno that does a full track simulation like this:

go to 1:00 i the vid...they're obviously using megalog viewer.

You're telling me that Suzuki spent 3-years with multiple employees on tuning EFI for 1 engine?

Not just Suzuki. I have friends working for the big 3/Cat/Cummins who concur that it takes a similar amount of time, or higher, for a full engine cal with a brand new controller.

2012 Diesel emissions cal is being done right now at Cummins, 3 years in advance.

The stuff we enthusiasts do is similar to a race engine cal which does not have a shitload of time put into OBD-2/CAN, emissions, and durability. These 3 things take 75% of the time in a production engine program.

And LOL@ megalogviewer.

well that response is gay as **** and I disallow it from consideration. I was surprised to see that Renault is using MLV...I wonder if they registered or deal with the shitty pop-up like I do?

That is then used for 3-5yrs, or even 10yrs and in several different models. They put 100s, and maybe thousands of hours into making it run perfectly in all situations. It's part of building a car, and they have to warranty it.

So superchargers have better response and power band than turbo setups on Miatas? hmm....
