I've been reading here for awhile but just discovered to do a reply you have to have done a certain amount of posts so I'll come out of the shadows and say hi.
We are a Miata family in Charleston, S.C. and between the wife and I we have accumulated 4 Miatas, 3 of which are boosted. I have a Miatas since 1996 but the wife got hers in 1992 before we met.
1991 White NA CSP and track day car
1992 Sunburst Yellow with a JR supercharger / wife's track car
1992 Silver with an FM I track car (currently no motor)
2004 Titanium Mazdaspeed street and track day car
Our addiction to boost includes a 2002 Chevy Duramax PU as a tow vehicle and the wife drives a WRX STi as a DD.
When I finally get off my butt and replace the engine in the Silver car I would probably also look to do something to upgrade the ECU situation which is why I've been reading here.
Since the car is a track only car at this point my concern has been about being able to get it tuned if i go with an aftermarket computer. Living in Charleston is like the great wasteland of tuners for anything but a Honda.

ATS will be a 3 hour tow for me, Buckshot would be 5. As for PowerZone. He's outright scary. He tried to tell me that my bone stock MSM was defective because it was running 18:1 AF under boost. Then I realized I had watched him spend 2 hours trying to tune some Mustang and both he and a bystander "expert" agreed it was because they guy was running the wrong intake system. I went to another dyno and to my amazement found my AF was just fine and the guy at PZ had bad equipment and couldn't figure it out.

Right now neither but I would eventually be looking to do some aftermarket ECU for the 92 with the FM I kit.
My telling you about the MSM was just because you mentioned my favorite dyno shop.
