Gotcha. yeah, I was only paying attention to the numbers that interested me. I have fixed the post. There is a 9 lb difference.

Pretty wheel pictures before the car goes on the dyno. These are all 6ULs available from, of course, Flyin' Miata. And yes, it's still on the stock suspension so it could use moar low.
Beryllium LE, 17x9. The success of this look is dependent on the age of the viewer. Our poll of millennials (sample size: 1) says no, our poll of Gen X and whoever proceeded them say yes.
17x9 Tungsten. A safe choice that will never disappoint. Reliably attractive.
Charcoal 17x8. I suspect you either like charcoal or beryllium LE, but very few like both. This one looked better than we had anticipated.
Bronze 17x8. If you like, you probably like a lot. If you don't, that's okay. That's why we offer Tungsten.
Insert all the expletives, the Tungsten on that blue is STUNNING!
*36 year old checking in, I think now I'm an Xennial? Don't know, but that looks awesome.
Crap, I like that bronze and blue. I wonder if 6UL's come in a size large enough to get under the MS3? Never really considered them.
As much as I like the bronze (my favorite) proper shiny gold would be so pimp.
I like the bronze too. :) Of course it could be I'm just so use to looking at them. Tungsten washes out too much. Hard no on the Beryllium.
Be interested to see the power loss at altitude with no correction. You could feel the difference in Betty in Colorado Spring pretty and that is 6K ft. up. I almost think a turbo ND would be a lot closer there.
Typical correction factors for us are around 14-17%. On a 430 hp V8, you're losing about the equivalent of a 1990 Miata :)
In reply to Keith Tanner :
With the 2019 having just more top end power what are your thoughts on a supercharger vs. a turbocharger to complement it?
Are you asking if it'll work better with a super or a turbo? That'll get into specifics - is the existing SC geared to spin 13 faster without hitting redline? Will the lighter rods deal with the boost pressure down low from the turbo?
The turbo and SC that we offer have opposite characteristics from what your daddy done tol' you, with the turbo being a torque monster and the SC responding best to being spun out. The turbo can certainly feed the top end. The boost levels might start getting problematic with the SC, as it seems to continue to build boost with rpm. That may be a moot point if the intake manifold and TB changes mean the SC manifold doesn't fit the new engine. It would be easier to modify the turbo to fit, so if the changes are as we suspect that's likely to be the available choice in the immediate future.
Really, it's like someone took the 1994-97 1.8 and gave it the liveliness of the 1.6 without losing the bottom end. Both those engines respond to both types of power adder, although we've always preferred turbos on those car.
