Look guys, the one guy said "we may never know'. Let me catch my breath...or fingers as it may be. I can only type so fast. This actually makes me a bit uncomfortable, I prefer to join a forum and chit chat, not spill my guts about my stuff in my first post. But you're kind of damned if you do, damned if you dont...if I dont answer everyones request I'll be flamed as well. Ya know?

The miata is a big turbo set up, 347rwhp. Best time 10.9@132, but my official "on record" time is 11.1@127. "worlds fastest miata registry" http://www.wwtfd.org/bigdmiata/fastest.php I'm 3 I used to be 2, but someone built their motor.....

I should be #1, but my 10.9 pass isnt documented. I'm kind of "out of" drag racing these days. I play with the car on the street ( not to say I street race), etc.


T3/T4, TEC III ecu,kaaz lsd, stock internal motor. I'm "Old school" miata person, used to be on miata.net a lot. Back in 2001+ there was race to make over 300hp on the stock internals. I got beat by three weeks by a friend, Stephens who has a car they call "Mini Monster".

I havent dabbled with miatas for a while now.

Here's one of my cardomains, it has some further pics of the miata, and some other cars.

NICE!

IAmCman and I have been working on his turbo miata lately. Granted its not on the same level as yours but its still pretty cool. I'm really impressed that you squeezed that much HP out of the stock internaled motor.

I hear he's building something even crazier now. I haven't talked to him in awhile. He actually went on up to 400rwhp on the stock internals, and lasted for 7 months before he spun a rod bearing. I've been at 350rwhp for 3 years now, so I'm not planning on pushing the envelope. I've only encountered one car that was able to beat me, and it was a turbocharged LS1 Camaro running drag slicks on the street.

The red and white car I showed you, with the big turbo started out life with a T25/28 from Corky Bell, basically its what you have. Corky sold out his kit rights to Bill Cardell, aka Flyin' Miata. I've never run a link, only the TEC II. The guy who helped tune my car ( Shiv Pathak) felt that the link was not the way to go for big hp due to spark scatter, thats the only reason I didn't use the link.

The FM kits are solid performers, Im sure you love it! My old kit is now on an beat up miata we call "ghetto fabulous".

Awesome to see you moved from Louisville.... My uncle lives there. He collects and builds various hot rods, street rods, and Corvettes.
