    Well, that is one of his daily drivers, but if you like those numbers, he also has a 800hp Drag Miata that uses the Miata engine.

    I would be more impressed with the Miata engine making those numbers. Of course, it's all custom, huge turbo, and lag at that point.


    That white nb is the world's fastest drag Miata. Sadly i didn't get thete to hear him start it. And he used the Miata engine.

    Both of his NB Miatas use the Mazda Miata engine. And I don't know how you missed hearing the White NB, it was ridiculously loud ..

    My best bang for buck mod was getting rid on the catalytic converter on my MSM. I'm guessing around 190 at the wheels just by knocking the cat out.

    no way 190 broski. from the factory its 178 at the crank... you might have felt quicker response due to less restriction though

    I would say the biggest bang for the buck would be a AEM short ram intake with boost controller or a Flyin Miata High Performance intake with manual boost controller for $290. Then turn the boost up to 10 or 10.5psi. Your will feel like it lifts up & goes. It will feel like a totally different car. My firs mod was a FM intake they were $230 when I bought mine new. nothing like turning up the boost.

    My next mod was the Flyin Miata downpipe. It was worth the money. It add a significant increase in performance to the intake.

    A quick thing you can do is disconnect the Throttle Position Sensor. It will cause the ECU to add more fuel & get rid of the hesitation caused by the ECU. The Check Engine Light will come on when it disconnected but will eventually turn off if you reconnect it again. Its a good way to test if you feel the ECU hesitation or boost lag.

    Another mod is to get a MS2 Enhanced ECU for the Mazdaspeed. You can turn up the rpm & get rid of the hesitation caused by the stock ECU.

    I've drag raced another MSM (ozbrock) and he did a MAF relocation kit and did a dyno run (170ish HP). We where basically the same during the run and I've still running the stock intake minus the snorkel. He never gain on me nor did a loose him, just treed his ass on the light.

    Here is the link to his dyno numbers. I am thinking I'm about 190 hp at the crank or about 175 hp at the rear wheels compared to 150ish hp stock at the wheels. Besides, I see full boost at about 3800 RPM and pulls hard up top once the fuel finally is added (damn ECU). I've can't complain on a 30 dollar job and his was $350.
