Quick update after forged internals. Torque 378.4 NM, Power 256hp. Tuner reckons there is another 10-15hp in her with advanced timing.

After several runs on high boost.......it doesn't need any more HP :)

Scary quick.

That's good, the next track day is at QR so a lot more run off if you happen to need it. I can imagine a high powered MX-5 being pretty scary to drive at Lakeside if it is your first event!

Plan is to run it on low boost first couple of sessions. If I feel comfortable with the track then I will switch to high boost.

High boost I think is 18. Low boost no idea. Will check with my tuner, idle is a little higher than I would like.

Decals added to car today. The pictures don't do them justice.
