BTW, a little quick math says that 400hp on 6 cyl isn't that impressive...
i.e. 400 / 6 = 66.66 hp/rod
66.66 * 4 = 266
So that's the ball park of power per rod that kills miata rods, having 2 more cylinders helps spread the load a bit
Your buddy needs to turn the boost up some more, imo ![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Now, he is using a Borg Warner S376 and is aiming for a low 6 in the 1/8th. Should be on 30-40psi. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND he will still be using the same bottom end with the same stock E-car rods.
