I'm going to trying and hit the dyno at a local shop here this week. If I break 200whp I'll be happy to be honest. The manifold seemed to open to top end a lot though. Plan to hit the strip when it cools down a bit.

As far as a video I have a bit of a treat in the making.

Huh, not sure how I missed this thread the first time around. That parking lot looks very familiar- I believe there's a BW3 just out of frame to the right, and a Moe's to the left?

From where you started, the car looks amazing.

You would be correct sir. How long ago was it you were down here Joe? Did I have my car on the road yet? Plan to ever come visit again?

Sometime in 2009, can't recall exactly the date. I was in North Port for a while, LostSoul invited me up.

I haven't looked at the datalog but watching the computer I peaked about 185kpa and held 175. So realisticly 11psi or so. It was hot as ***** so I'm sure that didn't help.

this is probably the most ambitious Miata build anyone's ever done before. The car originally looked like complete dogshit. I wouldn't have bothered with it, but you really turned it around. Good work.
