Ok. Go here to my site. This will answer your ? There are a few more of us in here. www.ls1miata.net/gallery
My car weighed in at 2640lbs. with a full tank of fuel and trunck loaded with tools. I made 384rwhp/382rwtq. I moved the engine back 2" into the firewall for better weight distribution. It di help....but how much. Most miata are 50/50 and with the 302 setup they'are 53/47 front to back...so I am hoping I am right in the middle or better. Most miata stock weigh in around 2400lbs. pending there options.

I am currently building a new ls6 block and headed 383, and hoping for over 400 plus rwhp/rwtq.
