It refused to do that for some reason. It would show just like that in preview and not in the submitted post. Maybe I need to have more posts?? I was hoping some one would do a proper preview. Haha

I believe that with the 2.3L kit, the camshaft change, a couple of handling changes (e.g., SYMS car was much better on the handling aspect) and maybe a bit more weight savings the specific car could go below 1 minute in Tsukuba. I agree that it is a lot of money, but this is what you have to pay if you want to be on the super (race) car territory.

One remark for everyone. The battle attack was for NA cars. Older ones and newer ones. We had three 86/BRZ's and no Miatas! Even the tires used were originated from the 86/BR Gazoo races. So, where are the Miatas?

Japan only gets the 1.5L engine in the ND. The smallest and lowest HP engine in the comparison was the 1.8L 2zz in the MR-S. The Japanese do not seem to be big on engine swaps for the Miata. Most the time they just go FI which would not qualify for this group.

They have, the GRMN twin runner intake, JUN IM, and Greddy/SARD w/o the plenum. The problem is the first isn't available to the general public and others are prohibitively expensive. RacerX is working on one and extrude honing the OEM red IM looks to be another option.
