Tire selection on a 1500hp Miata...
I are suxxors. Yea, there's no miata diff in the world that can handle 1500hp. Probably going solid axle since its a drag car. I was thinking CTS or the older Cobra IRS would be cool, but as we have all noted, he's researched 100x more than the lot of us combined at the moment. Plenty of learning going on though. I guess I'd rather wait and see what unfolds. And we should have figured he'd tub the rear, for the sizes he wants. Anyway, this got me thinking of a project someone put up on another site, with a few other added complications, including taking a mid engine car and making it front engine. THIS is a guy you should talk to.. hah. I would imagine when he asked about those tires he got similar responses on the fiero forums... 'Monster' fiero even more scary, that think drinks from the bottle too. but its no 1500hp turbo miata.

No need to roll fenders. Just backhalve and tub it. There was an old drag Miata from Puerto Rico that was tubbed and backhalved. Built up rotary I think.
I'd imagine he's looking at Strange, Dana, or Moser for a diff.

Thats got to be crazy.
I had a friend with an old 70 chevy C10. He had a small block 400with 450 hp. Then he added a 200 shot of nos. He was out ran by non-turbo 300Z's. If he punched it at 80 it would light the street tires up. I liked that truck, it was crazzzzy. Gas mileage was terrible though, 4 miles to the gallon.

I can't believe nobody posted that up before. I didn't think about it being solid rear axle conversion and being able to do that.

And btw, he also wants to see your setup. He doesn't believe you're going to be making over 1000 whp with only 1 turbo.
