This is my year or 2 late intro post.
The Car
90 miata with 1.6 and disco potato at 13psi.
Got the car for free from my best friends dad when my friend passed away. When i got the car it was just naturally aspirated with a mountain of turbo parts to go on it and is now getting more parts to be a weekend track car and canyon ripper.

Truck
06 Silverado 2500 6.0L 8" lift on 37s and mild motor work- Eventually do a built 6.0 with procharger

Me
25 year old dad with family and house. Work as an engineer and used to run a mechanic shop so have a good background of mechanical things and have acess to solidworks and many fab shops. (if someone needs drawings made up send me a pm and a sketch and i can hook it up). Not a poor college or hs kid and have no intention of doing anything half ***.

Anyways awesome forum and lots of great knowledge floating around here.

I swapped back to my stock 1.8. I have it running 14# right now. Plan is to tear the built motor apart over winter and have it back in for next summer. Wanted to have a fun car for summer.
