Hi Bill! I just got on line and this stuff is great!
How is your supercharger doing?
The one I've been working on has over 45k on the supercharger. We finally
bullet proofed all the brackets and mounting points. The owner is not very
gentle with this car.
 We added a few things you may be interested in. MSD makes a ignition timing
retarder. It retards the ignition 3 degrees for every pound of boost up to a
total of 6 degrees. We run 15 degrees of timing at idle and have had no ping.
The other thing we tried was blue printed fuel injectors!
Marren Motorsports in Connecticut set up the fuel injectors for equal flow
volume and spray pattern. (about $25 each) We found this perked up
performance at low RPM
The supercharger on this car was always noisy, but it seems to have developed
a rattle inside at idle, I wonder if anyone out there has experienced this?
The boost is still OK.
We are developing some parts that we have used on this car for sale through
Wiz Performance.
1  A gauge "pod". This allows Miata owners to install up to 3 gauges on the
dash without sacrificing your heat, a/c vents.
2 A strut bar that will fit around the Sebring supercharger.
3  A vent that can be attached to the hood on either side or both sides, to
let out the hot under hood temp developed by the supercharger.
Any questions on these items? Call Holly at Wiz Performance.
These exhaust rattles I've been reading about. The front pipe is 5/50
emission warranty if you want it replaced, but the same thing will probably
happen. We just cut them of with a torch (top and bottom) or you can use a
large hose clamp to re attach them.
Well I've rambled on enough, good to hear from you.

P.S. I think every House hold should own 2 cars, as long as the other car is
also a Miata. Twice the fun and twice the trunk space.
