    What is the best shift point for racing????

    You don't run through gears on a dyno. I don't even know off the top of my head what rpm you land at when shifting to 3rd at 6500rpm for example, but I know it's a hell of a lot better than shifting at 6000. Best way to see is try it yourself. :) I'd definitely recommend it. - 14.3 @ 98mph...

    How will a dyno show that?

    What is the best shift point for racing????

    6500rpm. Regardless if power drops before then, you want to stay in the powerband.

    So Boosting Our MSP's is not good..??

    RB is nice. I was considering a R33 GT-R before I found the 180SX. Figured, not only is the S13 cheaper, but I won't worry about it as much in public than with a Skyline. :p I'm going all-out on the 180 though, if you want, PM me for details. :D

    Joe you know a 5th gear pull on the road at that psi would've shot all 4 rods out the block. :D

    So Boosting Our MSP's is not good..??

    Yes forged internals before engine management is ridiculous. Unfortunately, the Protege rods will never feel 250whp and stay put. Still, fuel control is a must on this car if you want it to run nicely. I can't wait to start tinkering with an SR20, not feeling limited by bolt on mods. :)

    Does your MSP do this?

    Wanna try something even cooler? In 3rd gear for example, hold down the brake & gas at the same time so you maintain a constant speed/rpm. If done correctly you should now be at full boost while holding a steady speed. Letting off the brake while staying WOT results in instant acceleration. This...

    These $400/mo payments will only get in the way of the new project. :)

    So Boosting Our MSP's is not good..??

    In the end, the bottom end (rods in particular) are good for no more than 230-240whp (105mph trap speeds). Not bad, mid-13s capable. But then you're at the limit. Proper tuning or not. No one can dispute that. Many would be happy there, but I personally wouldn't be for long. That's why I'm...

    E-Manage powered Mazdaspeed!

    Thanks Auto, I actually had a US S13 before the MSP. Fun car, can't wait to "go back." (this time with a SR20 and RHD) :D Rest assure you will be hearing about it when Billet Design gets it's crazy fabricating hands on it. ;) Sure thing, I will let you know about the intake.

    To Flash or Not To Flash --T hat Is The Question

    Every Mazdaspeed will "hesitate." We all have the same fuel maps. If you plan to modify the car, I would not get it flashed. If you're leaving it stock, go for it.

    Fuel Management System and Dyno Tuning?

    If you want to make it "fast," get rid of the stock ECU, it hates piggyback fuel management. Save up for an Electromotive or Autronic standalone.
