Pretty sure Jamie was referring to the Fab9 setup, saying that you would likely get better throttle response from a log manifold and the 0.64a/r vs. the Fab9 V-band and the requisite 0.85a/r. I would be inclined to agree with that estimation.

It's strange how that guy is still having problems with his email selectively all these years. What is it been, three, four years he's been having email troubles?
Hopefully one day someone will invent reliable email service.

Thank you all for the advice. The Trackspeed kit will be in my car when the time comes.
This whole fiasco made me reevaluate my plans--if the money comes back from Fab9 it'll be going into a cage and other safety prep so I can run in the Supermiata series
So thank you Fab9!

Man, I ordered a Fab9 kit before reading the related threads on this forum. Unsurprisingly, there is way less criticism on M.net as they aren't as critical about service rendered. I'm glad I only had minimal-to-moderate trouble dealing with him. If I had been more active here when choosing components, I probably would have asked TSE to build an NC kit. Well, begged TSE perhaps. I don't see any TSE NC stuff at first look.

I do think the Fab9 NC turbo setup is the best on the market for the NC. At least I like it far better then the TDR guys setup.

I understand the lack of serious development support for the NC. The NA or NB can match its mechanical grip and engine performance without the cost, weight and size handicap of the 3rd gen chassis. It dose make for a good street/track car compromise though! Quiet and refined as far as roadsters go.

NCs are great. They're not as heavy as you think they are, and they can fit a LOT of tire. As the aftermarket catches up when compared to the companies that took advantage of the fact that the same car was made for 15 years with the NA/NB, they'll get more and more supported, and faster on track.

Also, my 2013 with soft top removed, Blackbird GT3 and removable hard top in place is 2560 without me in it and with a half tank. Not tooooooo bad..
The Fab9 should motivate it real nice like. I can't wait to share data and numbers.

Miata aftermarket is just insanely slow, because the people that mod these cars for the most part won't mod anything that's "expensive" which seems to be the 10k mark.
Look at the toyobaru twins: in the 1st 3 years of production on that totally new car, they've already got more turbo and super kits than the na/nb/nc/nd combined over a span of almost 30 years.
Now that ND is out, NC is dropping in price, and I'll be surprised if more people don't pick them up.
