My car was never the same after I trapped 110. That being said, headwind does affect our tiny cars a ton, more than the v8 boys. Almost always a good headwind at my local track.
Congrats on getting under 2 second 60'.

I'm going to run mine at the strip this winter on the vlad mega tune to see what I can trap, but I'm running a 1.6. Vald you think I can break 110mph? This has me curious and excited, and half hard.
Glad to see more td04 13ts around as there was only 2 others (that I could find on forums) besides dnmakison and I when I started my build.

They are more popular on MX5's in Europe and Australia, apparently.

Just about every "budget" built turbo MX5/Miata here uses a TD04. Manifolds are more common and turbos are cheap used from WRXs
Boost targets look like this
This is the slip from my 12.9 earlier in the year. Notice the 14mph tail wind compared to this weekends 10mph headwind
I'm back at the dyno from my OP in November too.
Car is on Yokohoma AD08R which I run at 16psi at the strip. On board footage below
Edit: a tenth faster upto the 1/8 mile this weekend but a tenth slower by the 1/4 than my 12.9 pass

Well this may go someway towards explaining my "slow" 1/4 miles now. Was expecting at least 280hp on this particular dyno
Not yet looked into the root cause yet but I'm suspecting head gasket as it was cruising between 5-10 Celsius hotter than normal. Wideband was going nuts too, very bouncy readings quite frequently flicking from 13:0 to 17:0 with no lean/rich stumbles you'd expect with it doing that.
Whipple SC mustang was a bit of a shoe once they managed to get it to run without trying to blow the tyres off
