Megasquirt is the best option for you non-OBDII guys, definitely.
What tires do you have? I don't have wheelspin at will in any gear with any of my tires (RS3, Rival, Yokohama Avid HS4) at 189 hp.

Obviously the megasquirt is the most common system out there but I like to be different. I have absolutely no interest in tuning myself, so most likely I'll go with whatever EMS the shop I work with suggests. I want an experienced tuner, not somebody that has to learn on my car (and that includes me). The two shops local to me that I have used for past builds on other cars suggested the AEM EMS-4 with boomslang adapter. New, those two things go for right at $1000 + cost of a dyno tune.
If my shop wanted to use the megasquirt I'd have no problem with it. While I came here expecting to see a few EMS-4 setups, it seems the AEM FI/C is much more common to miata builds.

I've been able to spin my stockers on Yoko S-drives and I can spin the 15x8 TRM with Kuhmo Ecstas. I think the Kuhmo qualifies as a crappy tire. I've tracked the S-drives before but not with the supercharger. They were a little low on tread for my attempts to break traction - which was done from a dig.

There's more than a few EMS-4 setups on this board...

little did you know that most of these "professional guys" are actually learning on your car just charging you a ton of money to do it so you think they're legit

I managed to break the rear loose on a 3rd to 2nd downshift at 35, pulling out to pass, with well-heated RE-11's (mountain ride, getting around a slower car). Surprised crap out of me. It's also easy enough on a 1-2 upshift. I'm at 202 whp.

You gettin' more than 32 mpg? I can drive my Rotrex car on trips and get 30-32 as long as I keep it sane. Even hooning I can net mid 20's. Running 315's @9 psi, no restrictor, intercooled.
