Some pictures of the latest stuff done to the Miata...

Dual Spal fans, combined the fans move damn near 5,000 CFMs...(kinda hard to see in the pic)



Remote oil filter pedestal relocated to the driver's side frame rail to make oil changes easier and less messy



New Devil's Own water/meth injection system, along with a foam-filled 4 gallon fuel cell, and new yellow top Optima battery to ensure the car fires up in the heat



And a dirty engine bay but lots of butt-warping fury

Finally got around to giving the Miata a tune on race gas last night. I went with VP's MS109 unleaded race gas, considering how well it worked on a buddy's 2JZ single turbo we tuned. Did about 8 pulls and got it dialed in to the following numbers.



I had hoped for 560 wheel so this was a pleasant surprise. Because MS109 is oxygenated, I had to run a little richer than normal to get maximum power and detonation suppression. The mixture ended up in the 11.4:1 range. Timing was bumped up about 5 degrees.

On the street, I'm getting more wheelspin in 2nd, but 3rd is still holding. 4th gear feels like 3rd gear feels on pump gas. The chassis is handling the 90+ increase in torque well.
