Plenty of stories though.





Tonight I raced my friends supercharged Miata expecting to get WHOMPED because I'm restricted to half throttle.

Anyways, we are on the highway cruising, he slows to 50 and motions for me to pull alongside.

I downshift to 3rd, he counts to three and we punch it. It was even for a few seconds then I started pulling on him! Not by much, only a car length by 80.



We are definitely having a rematch when I get my ECU and he gets his tuned better! (getting light detonation at the top end and pegged EGTs)

Nice kill. Half throttle? Is this because of your ECU?

lol @ everyone going WTF.



I'm restricted to half throttle due to full 3" exhaust and running factory ECU and no fuel mods save for pump rewire.

Half throttle in 4th/5th in these temps gets me about 6-7psi which keeps me just under fuel cut.

Sucks not having been able to completely open my car up in forever though.



Lets see... Miata mods/details;



I forget the make of supercharger, but its running 6psi right now

Aftermarket FPR

Stock fuel system

Stock internals

Supposed to net about 170whp with this setup I beleive he said

EGTs pegged in 3rd and up. Gauge max is 1600 f

15x6" OZ unknown model 5 spoke wheels

GC coilovers/Koni yellows/Eibach race springs at 500 front and 300 rear

rollcage
