94-97 miatas are 2300 pds. 90-93 are 2160-2200pds.. Turbos or Supercharged at stock 5.5 or 6 psi with cat back will run low 15s. Almost enoughf to hang with a stock ITR. I think it takes around 9-11 psi and intercooler to run high 13s. Not bad but A streetport N/A can still take one at around their. My friends 97 with JR intake and exaust kept geting 10.7- 10.5 in the 1/8. Pretty slowwww. Thier are really quick around town though. Really short tranz.

You can't group hp/boost levels for a super and turbo charger. Superchargers require hp to be spun while turbos work 'for free'.

The system the car had (8psi & intercooled) is here:

Plug the weight & rwhp in here:

So I think the sleepers have it. My definition isnt exactly a POS thats a ll primered and fast as ****, just an average looking car, no big *** wings or body kits...nothing really advertising...i just love the look of an FC with wheels!
