2011 PRHT - More Power
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 5:52 pm
Brian,
A couple months ago I ordered a set of Progress Springs and sway bars from you - delivery was quick and efficient. I finally got them installed with the help of some guys from the local Miata Club. What i difference!! The car is now sitting at 14" all around (+/- 1/8th) and handles great - nice and flat in the corners. It does track a little in pavement imperfections, but I am told that will be taken care of by the alignment (scheduled for this coming Tuesday).
Next on the agenda is more power (Like you didn't see that coming a mile away)
I will be getting an exhaust, but I am unsure which header (Max Power or Street). I use the car as a summer only daily driver and weekend "Canyon Carver". I was going to go with the Street, but if I eventually add a supercharger, then I will have to change the header because the Street is "NOT recommended for supercharged cars". Are there any drawbacks to the Max Power for a Daily Driver? Cold weather starts (I know I said it's a summer daily driver, but I take it out pretty early in the spring and mornings are still chilly....)? Does it ever throw codes? I am guessing the sound with the Super Q exhaust is OK...?
Alternatively, I was thinking of doing the full street exhaust package and CAI - would the CAI add any additional power (HP or Torque) above and beyond the exhaust?
Any other suggestions?
I am still on stock wheels & tires (for now..)
Thanks!
Patrick
