Hmm, I don't know about that. Really it all boils down to one phrase "How fast do you want to go?" If I wanted an outlandishly fast protege..I would of went boost over a year ago.

Just do what feels right to you. I am a fan of both N/A and FI as I have vehicles which use both. If it wasn't for my Mustang and Lightning, I would spend the money to go FI on the P5 just because small engines need all the help they can get. Though a nice 4cyl with a wide powerband can be a dream on a twisty road, N/A or FI.
OH yea... HUG

What the hell's your problem Kyle? Just because my Protege has a different engine than your Protege, does that mean that my opinion is worth any less? I never see you contributing any usefull information in any way that anyone with half a brain doesn't already know. I know 10 times what you know about NA tuning. You need to drop the ego and remember that this is a public forum for people with different levels of knowledge and experience. Any way that someone can share information and knowledge is a positive thing. Do I think highly of the BP? Why shouldn't I?
I'll get pissy with you if I damn well want to too. I don't know you from corn in a turd and you get no props from me just because you seem to be Mr. Popular. If you disagree with something I say based on technical inaccuracies, then fine, back it up with something intelligent to say. If you just feeling like dissing me because I get on your nerves, then don't sit there and think I'm going to leave it alone either. It's a two way game here, you throw the pitch and I'll swing at it......

True, the FS isn't the best engine to come out of Mazda's stable. Everyone on this board knows this, and everyone works around it. My point in mentioning the BP is that I own one(re:3), speak highly of it and talk about it frequently, which pisses off Kyle.
It all doesn't matter though, since I'll be throwing in an MZR 5 years from now....

Good points sir...and I said shorter rods are stronger...rod length, not stroke length...we have long stroke, and very short rods...equals very low rod ratio (the ratio of rod length to stroke length), which equals extremely high piston acceleration, which equals extremely low dwell times...overall making the need for strong wrist pins a must...and the ability to run very high compression...
read some of my past posts though...I never claimed an NA FS will be more powerfull that a turbo'd FS...and i never said it would be cheaper for the same hp...I only said that an NA FS would be different...you canm get decent power out of it, for a lot less than some think...

No dude...You were saying a 3k in turbo stuff would get you way more hp...I was saying it wouldn't get you way more hp, if you know what you are doing with NA...a 3k turbo setup will get you way more midrange torque though...thats inevitable, thats what my post was referring to...
