As a note, the plural form of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

Don't forget to activate the cricket mode. Just turn the key to start position and your all set.

This has been.... interesting. I ended up digging out the information I needed in a far off galaxy far far on the other side of the internet.

I could barely read half of the stuff that was posted, so not much help was given.

Thanks anyways...

Maybe in the Miata world there's some sort of buttocks display ritual that takes place before spoon-feeding?

I'm pretty sure your faraway search was actually a longago search right here in this pile.

Welcome anyways...

Sure.

It's offtopic however. Common wheels that can be ran with (xxx/xx) sized tires that don't require fender-liner removal or Fender lips to be rolled.

Sorry, I won't be much help ..... the wheels and tires that came with my car suits my needs, except that I put on all-weather tires in the winter.

Hopefully, someone will chime in that is knowledgeable on wheels/tires ....

If you lower it on stock wheels 15mm spacers make a big visual differance.
Isn't the headers the most restrictive part of the exhaust?

I guess it's a toss up. I've seen 198 whp with stock exhaust but with the cat cut out of the stock header on e85 with 13.5:1 pistons. Then we changed the front pipe and made 215ish. Then 3 inch everything with a nameless header and made 22X something whp. The header didn't do much at all compared to the factory with the cat busted out of it. Stock exhaust flows fine even on a 8psi turbo car surprisingly. But changing the front pipe always made a good gain. That is after you knock the cat out of the stock manifold.

Btw all those numbers are not exact, it was awhile ago we were swapping things all over the place seeing what they did. Car did exceed 223+whp on a mustang dyno though.

New Owner... Overall run down?

Wait 223 NA on a mustang dyno? That's insane! Or is that with 8 psi
