Lol thanks guys.
In some of the videos I had the factory F-body shifter and my transmission is worn out I think because it will not allow me to shift fast, it takes quite a while for the synchro to let me in, but now I have a MGW short throw and I'm much better, I'm just "transmission limited" on my shifting... It simply won't let me shift fast enough. Trust me, in my daily I can shift so god damn fast that it sounds like an automatic transmission, Lol.
Anyway, good runs! ... My power to weight is awesome but when you race these cars with 100+rwhp more than me it kinda even things out... What sucks is my gearing.
4th ends Around 120ish and when i go to 5th (overdrive) it kinda dies...
Oh well...
The Miata will never see faster than 150. It's to effin scary.

Great videos! Thanks for posting! Everycar was fast as **** but that damn LS3 vette on the spray was insane!! You got me thinking... On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most difficult. How difficult is to do a LS conversion into a miata?

Btw, Mike from gforce built the car with 500 miles on it, and its almost at 21k, gets faster with every mile. That dude knows his setups!

In my special case... I rate it as a 9 out of 10.
Its not like an unreal amount of fab work, but its just SO MUCH you have t o do its retarded.
Look at my build thread:

Yeah great runs man! Bryan (4banger) had texted me a few months back about running you when you first got your mnivette up and going and I was like "wtf? An LS1 miata? umm, I will get raped but sure why not!" I ended up not being able to cause of daddy duties but don't think after seeing your vids at even 350whp that I would have been ANY fun for you! You should have Bryan text me if/when you guys go out again so I can bring my slo6.. just gotta make sure I have some peops that give me some neck to neck runs or atleast turn down the boost,Lol... oh, and I could hear you final drive really hurting you for sure in the runs.. some good gearing would def wake your **** up...
On a side note I've been looking into hybrid side projects to put together but can't deside what to go with! I'm 6'2 so its gotta have some room for me!
