When I ran street tires on my g, I could only muster an occasional 2.1, with mostly 2.2's; after the jwt flywheel, those numbers only got worse. Remember that the g is heavier and has a longer...

Wait, are you telling me that I am abusing my car? Seriously? Thanks for the newsflash.

I'm not wondering "if it's the transmission's fault." Obviously my use of the car far exceeds anything any...

I've read to the end of the thread, so I know that the transmission is no longer the topic at hand. But this post interests me.

Can you attribute your 350's transmission longevity to something in...

It's nice to know that you have access to the actual MAF voltage values. And as long as those are increasing, you're good to go. I agree that the observed ceiling for MAF GPS is a bug at this point.

The miata is possibly the best mass-produced driver's car in existence. Not to mention it's cheapish.

Go to a local autocross - odds are at least half the cars there will be miatas.

Why the secrecy? Can you post a slip?

Those numbers don't make sense. A 116mph trap + 1.6 sixty is good for high 11's, not high 12's. Did you bury the rev limiter? Even that doesn't make sense......

Any significance to the fact that your MAF has a constant reading from ~6150rpms onward? During that period you have increased actual roadspeed by 13mph.

Yes, thanks. I know it's probably a newb question, but I've never taken anything over ~120mph.

At your target hp levels, at that weight, that car is going to be major fun. But I bet if would be...

A 2.3 second sixty isn't very good, but even with a 2.1 second sixty he would have seen about a 13.7 second run with that trap speed. It was definitely the altitude/air that hurt him the most.
