Unhappy TURBO LS1 Miata Teaser....

JUST a teaser because the car was running like **** all weekend... Im out of MAP sensor so I had to shift at 5,000 rpm's the entire weekend... which is pretty much the START of my power band

Anyways... I know "Street Racing and Kill Stories" will eat my *** up for posting this video but oh well... I guess I'll just have to redeem myself with a legit video shortly...

The car makes 632rwhp & 560rwtq @ 8psi boost...
DOES NOT SPIN from a 40 on 225/45 STREET TIRES....
The suspension is working REALLY well... its just... SOFT as ****... Stock suspension with Tein SS Coil overs set to "medium"... Don't ask why it Hooks... makes no sense.. and never will make sense...

The car still busted *** out there even with the short shifting...

Anyway... I had to short shift the ENTIRE weekend at TX2k12 at 5,000 RPM's pretty much... as the Air/Fuel went 13.0:1 @ 5,000+ RPM..

I'm out of MAP sensor... its still on the 2 bar MAP...

LS7 MAF + Re-tune this Friday!!!!
CANT WAIT!!!!

Here's the gay video... Teaser... whatever...

Any idea what rpm you were shifting at when you raced the gt500?

Thanks guys... I was shifting at 5,000 RPM's... Losing ALL boost after every shift, losing ALL momentum, and falling flat on my power because it was going down so low after every shift... you can literally see it, hear it in the video... watch and listen to it again...
found out it was a 600+rwhp Whipple... not a Kennebell... Sorry...

Power to weight is hard to beat. Hence why there was a civic out there door to door with the UGR lambos.

Your car really makes me want to go out and do an LSx Miata just because of how rare and different they are from the norm.

Can't wait to see it running on full potential

Sick teaser though man! lol... Did not know you threw a turbo in it! Looking forward to seeing it run 100% Your Miata/vids alone made me want to sell my Camaro & do the swap lol

Same! Literally made me look into how much everything would cost to get & I actually checked some Miata out... lol But after everything its a lil out of my price range right now. If I could I would probably do it just because its not everyday you see a LS Miata. ***** a beast though..

That's an awesome setup. Its a little too small for me but It's an awesome setup nonetheless.

I was thinking doing it in an IS300 would be ****. I believe there's a build on here somewhere like that...

That would be fun as well.

There is just something about potentially owning a 2500-2600lb LSx RWD Miata that gauges my interest vs. gutting an f-bomb and not making it near that weight number. I'm also kind of a smaller guy so size of Miata isn't an issue
