thats what i am hoping for high high 9s or low tens (if i can hook up, the new rims + tires should help)
but thanks for the compliments guys
the cars weight with me in it should be somewhere around 2400lbs (it still has AC, PS, and Cruise control, and a full intertior with bose sound package, and leather/suede seats) but thats still really likght for that much power
ill post more updates when i take the pics next week

one word, badass
My friend as an AE with the 6-speed. He's got close to the same wheel and tire package on it. Its a hell of a fun car, just needs more HP. Seems like the turbo and the valve springs with the 9200 redline should help that problem. So are you going to Auto-X it or track day or what?

yeah the miata always need more hp, the chassis is very stiff and can easily hanf more power.
for autocrossing a small turbo or supercharger is the best setup. this is more of a bragging right, drag, and show-off kinda car. the kinda power this car will make will be way too much on a tight autocross course. on a large road course, it may be really fast, but the oversteer with the previous car was a balst, and it will require alot of throttle control on a race track with this setup, but it should be pretty impressive, ill take videos soon as i get it done. all i am waiting on really is the fuel injector connectors.
the gauges are from nordskog, and they are really really nice, top notch, i think the majority of their products are for offshore racing powerboats lol, the features are very impressive.
thanks for the compliments tho everyone i appreciate them
