Nice, but only 110hp? Shouldn’t our VVT motors be somewhere between 135 and 145 hp?

Dyno’d to the wheels at 5,280ft above sea level. The elevation saps about 15-20% power.

Sweet. Do you have any plans for chassis work like bracing, upgraded bushings, etc? Edit: oh, duh, the Exocet.

Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything out there that stiffens up a Miata quite like an Exocet chassis :D So that’s the plan! And later on down the road, a supercharged K24 swap for the power to go along with all that lightness.
