LOL actually he took lots of pictures of my car so he could show his buddies. He actually said there hasn't been a street car that he's come across that has beat him. He owns a S2K as well and likes little roadsters. Considering he owns a 250k+ supercar, he's a very humble down-to-Earth guy that has as close to zero ego as you can get.

Technically we've raced twice, but yeah I'm 2-0 with the GT.

Been a while since I updated this thread. Got rid of the Haltech E11v2 and switched to an AEM Infinity. Found lots of hidden ponies and torque with the new computer...it would appear that the Haltech was not up to the task of controlling a LS3. Recently moved to Florida and tuned the car for 93 octane.

Next upgrades are getting the traction & launch control functional and installing a 100 shot of nitrous that I've been sitting on for a few months. Hoping I can get upper 600s on race gas.

Your next upgrade needs to be having your head examined, but that's just my opinion.

Is your traction and launch control going to work with the stock ABS wheel sensors or are you going to have to mount special sensors to work with the AEM box?

mazpower · 01-26-2015, 09:07 PM

LOL

I'll be using OEM Miata ABS sensors in the front wheels to read non-driven wheel speed...I installed new hubs and all that back in Cali, but had issues with interference on the driven speed sensor...car thought it was doing 250 mph sitting still

GySgtFrank · 01-26-2015, 09:10 PM

Is the driven sensor stock Miata as well, or did that get changed out when you did the differential swap?

mazpower · 01-28-2015, 10:40 PM

Driven sensor is the VSS on the T56 transmission. I could have gone with rear ABS sensors as well but didn't want to have to source that. The Infinity allows for a dedicated driven wheel sensor or the option to use the vehicle speed input.
