Default A miata gets a Bowtie!!!!

Hey All:

I have finally gotten the car on the road, and even had my first Kill on the same day. Its not tuned and have some issues to sort out, small stuff but would like to get it to the dyno and all for some real fun. But I only have some pics. at the moment. Some day soon some video of the little car in action will be made and hosted...until then enjoy the pics.....

Definately looking forward to some videos on this. Anything done to the motor or is it stock?

I can just see it in my head with a real healthy sounding cam like an FM-14 or something like that
It'd be a blast to idle through one of those import meets having it rumbling away

I haven't looked through all the pictures as of yet, but what did you do for the frame to support the big boost in power?

Plug change is super easy...!!!!! Better then the stock ls1 camaro...and way better then the Lt1 formula I use to own. And yes I hav esome egine work done to it. A tr224/224 114 cam, ported stock heads and all the bolt on's. It's not tuned yet......but would like to see 375-390 rwhp if possible. To answer some of the other ?'s if look at my site from front to back you will see what I did to support this engine.....made subframes, bracing, and k-member support. It does fly even though I have issues to sort out. 2nd and 3rd gear pull good....
