I know this isnt a KA but I have a quick question.
My power goals are around 250-280hp, but not to exceed 300hp. So can I run 10:1 comp with 14psi. That should be 135hp with just the engine and with the 14 psi will take it to 270 hp.

Your going to have to give me a ride when you get the xida so I can see what all the talk is about.
I've wanted to do that to my turn signals for a whole but instead I'm going to try to get a retrofit in them.

that miata seems to be lacking torque......that could be fixed with a ka-t:).

lol i kid, those must be little fun track cars due to their weight, i'd say 14psi with 10:1 comp ratio might be ok with forged pistons/rods and either E85 or race gas.

Yeah, my younger brother has a turbo H22 Prelude and high power 2g Eclipse GSX but I always enjoyed my little '93 Altima when it had around 200whp (t25) and even now just NA bolt ons. I guess I've always been more into driving a slow car fast type of person and would go nuts having to baby the throttle all the time lol....
