Turbo Miata vs Slightly modded Del sol

Tonight I went for a cruise with one of my co-workers and we were travling down the highway. I just recently finished my turbo install on my miata and wanted to see how it would run. So him and I are running side by side doing about 65. I figured I would let him get atleast 3 car lengths cause it was an unfair match. Once I heard him down shift to 4th I also dropped to 4th. Automatically my turbo spooled up to 5psi and I was already on his ***. As soon as I shifted into 5th I was 3 car lengths ahead. As soon as we hit 110 we shut it down. This happened about 10 times and I walked him everytime. For 5lbs of boost I am truely amazed. Cant wait to run more boost!

I love Miatas. Somehow they were dubbed as chick cars, but as far as tuning is concerned. A lot of potential, excellent roadster that can handle as well as cars that cost 10k more. Plus it doesnt weigh anything.

Right now I dont know. I am only pushing 5lbs of boost. Will be at 10 by the end of this month with a 35 shot of NX. I am looking for atleast 13's but will settle for very low 14's with out N2O.
