Replace my S2k with...
Hey Charlie... get a life.
It ran on a custom T3/T4 with a Link programmable ECU. The motor was a 1.9L Miata motor built by Benson Machine Shop (builders of Lisa Kubo and Stephen Papadakis' winning dragsters) with JE Pistons (83mm X 85mm bore-stroke, iirc) and Carrillo rods. Compression was around 9.1:1.
While I had intended it for roadracing (~280RWHP), when I sold it to my friend, he bolted a huge hybrid on it to see what he could max it out at... and he still road raced it! It went through more than a few trannies (we had life time replacement from a recycler... they sure didn't know what they had gotten themselves into) and the rear end was from a Ford Thunderbird welded to the frame (I forget how many inches the rear end was), as the stock dif couldn't hold the power. The car was very well known in the Miata community.
If my friend can dig up the dyno sheet, I'll post it so that you can print it out, and literally eat your words.
I have no reason to lie, nor do I feel the need to defend myself against you. And in case you don't believe the Supra put down 604rwhp, the dyno sheet was already posted on my website.
I can't stand ignorant people who instead of educating themselves, choose to call BS just because they can't cerebrally comprehend something.
It has been many many years... but, if I can dig up the mod list, I will post it.
