I just use the units the gauge says. Gauge is scaled for E0 gasoline. No one on this forum is tuned to the ragged edge where 5% shift from talking about what AFR with gasoline scaling is good at E85 when they actually have E74 in their tank.

Thanks for answering my question guys. You're really helping me sort out my racing budget this next year.

**Huge thumbs up**

That is a very appropriate video. lol

It could be done for less than 3k but not the way i'd like it to be done. Remember. My car sits in a show room probably 360 days a year. I kinda feel pressure for it to look like something.

Holy ****. Just did a 2 hour binge read of your thread like a girl with bulimia that just got a hold of 3 large hot n ready pizzas. Pretty legit. I would like to see that bad boy in person some day. My exhaust is in by the way and so far no flange leak. Had to take a hammer to it in a few places though.

Off the map table at 5500 rpm which yields the lack of fuel control up top. Still safe for e85.
Limited boost down low. I'm afraid of torque.
Makes me wonder what torque would spike if we let it go all in off the bat.

That's awesome! 400hp in a miata must be crazy! What kind of tires are you running! I just read your whole thread yesterday but had some trouble registering. I have a RX-7 that I am doing a F2T swap in so this thread is a inspiration. I tried to watch some of your old youtube vids but most don't work anymore.
