You dont need both dynos, an intake will prove its self with its torque and HP curves not dropping off like the stocker as long as its done correctly. He will have a much healthier setup, its really just math. Every intake I have built has been one off, not one of them the same so I never bothered to dyno them and everyone is very happy with their gains, with no report of any loss in low end torque thus far. Good luck man keep the pics coming.

wont clear my brake propo valve... will have to redo that line.
Fuel lines are a joke. just bend them with a proper tool.
As far as the 45's.... mine is setup with a ~15-20 degree cut (didnt measure angle) at the head flange... and as you can see in the picture there is very minimal porting of the head flange needed.
This allows my runners to not be right in the frame rail like they would if they came straight off the head.

that 7" doesnt include the head flange and half of the trumpet within the calcs and it is very very close to that irl. I am ~0.02 off of my design calculations.
This car should have AMAZING power from 3000/3500-redline (7500rpm) depending how fast the turbo comes on. below that i will still always be making more than peak HP of a stock miata.

Your taking your measurements from the valve right? not just the length of the runner tube. If not your calculations are wrong, just fyi. You should me measuring velocity stack or trumpet + runner + flange + head runner length center line to valve.

thanks!
Yes, my welds. Yes power steering. limits the space to be had between the frame rail. so being that my last year setup was similar, the spot was already cut for this.
There should be no huge restriction within the charge piping now and i should be able to get north of 350 on pump when i install the pistons and rods.

bad things will happen how so?
i ran it like that all of last year! I will be building a mount for it to keep it from vibrating though.
EWG is going to be plumbed down to a slash cut at the bottom of the subframe.
