I want to know if I bought the wrong brand!

It looks like an isolated case from what I have read. On the other discussion posted it does appear they made some changes to the camshaft at one stage but was a bit vague.

Pm me if you want more specifics. |
I saw your other post. With lowered static compression ratio on the higher duration cam you may have had too large of a negative effect on dynamic compression. I have sent you a PM to get some more details.

Celeks post about the dyno comparison of the 2017 intake manifold could be promising. I wonder if some throttle body spacers to increase plenum volume might make a small difference at high rpm.
If I can get 200+whp (210whp would be nice) and keep the torque from dropping off sharply after the peak and raise the rev limit to 8000 rpm I would be happy.
2017 intake manifold, stage 2 cams and some decent headers to match should hopefully get me where I need to be to be competitive compared to the MX5's already running.
