Superchargers are great and have their own special features and functions. I don't fancy them much because of the fact that it a small motor and you still have to take HP from the already under powered engine to turn the supercharger. In other words, it may give you 40 more ponies but you loose 15 to 20 to make that power. Then it all hot air without the cooler. difficult to adjust boost.

I like it only for the instant torque but hate it after it leave and higher rpm where I like and can really use it. Its a FWD so lots of low rpm torque I dont like. Most folks will spend their time driving (racing) at high RPM. Thats where I like and can enjoy the power. My turbo diesel truck redline at 3000 rpm. That great for low troqer and towing. Besides if you re racing the turbo guys will more than likely get you on the top end. If you dont plan to race. I make a really fun daily driver.

Killer. Give me a list of upgrades on your car, Just the performance stuff. This way I can think about your issue and tunability. We are here in San Antonio, so its possible.

Congrats Ric, the HP numbers you continue to produce for Miatas and now MX3s always impress me. I wish that I lived near to you so that I could get you to tune my car.

You can get all the parts for about 10 to 12K with labor total is about 15K This is great for 500 plus aon any car. Even a Honda will cost that much.

Question, is there a time slip list available, I want to know what the fastest mx-3 are running. 12"s and faster.
