Its about bragging rights... You give the customers what they want. And especially on just a dyno DAY... High Numbers is all people want to see.

IMO hub based dynos(though high reading) are the best for tuning as they show a more direct reading of the pwoer made. Not for numbers but for seeing the effect of a part or a tuning change... Why worry if the wheels/tires were the reason for a difference in two runs.

i think if you own a Miata, then you should want a dyno shop to do that...

When I'm ready for a tune, I'll be taking it to either LMR or G-Force, both reputable shops here.

That LS Miata is the shiznit! I'd rock that just to fu(k with peoples heads.

the LSx Miatas are fast, and great to mess with people heads with...but no matter how you slice it, its still a Miata...

"What do you drive?"
"LS1 Mazada Miata."
"You drive a Miata, thats kinda gay."
"But it has a V8 in it."

Why worry about what other people say about your car? people gave me **** for buying a cadillac... and had the SAME conversation


"What do you drive?"
"cadillac CTS-V."
"You drive a Cadillac, thats kinda old people."
"But it has a V8 in it."
