Bravo.  Let's all take a deep breath and relax a bit.  Like Dan said, the miata

is a hobby to us folks.  To a few, it is their livelihood.  Let's try to be a

bit more understanding and mature.  I've been lucky to have had almost no

problem with any of my modifications (as far as ordering/shipping goes.)  The

Wiz has been consistantly helpful.



In addition to the Wiz, I've dealt with essentially *every* serious miata

aftermarket supplier in America at one time or another.  I'm happy to say, that

we are lucky to have so much high quality stuff available to us.  I'm proud to

say that ALL (except for one) of the dealers I've met have been personable, 

helpful, and essentially honest.  That says something good about the miata 

community.



All this jump-on-the-bandwagon hosility and militant protest schemes make me

uneasy.  There are many things worse than not receiving a free catalogue.  I've

run a service business before I got into this proprietary trading thing and I

can honestly say that it took years off my life.  I would never wish such an

experience upon my worst enemy.



Now that that is out of my system, does anyone run a nitrous system with a

forced induction system?  I considering adding a 50hp NOS system with my

Autorotor.  I think my upgraded fuel system would be up to it.



I know this system is designed to operate under wide open throttle.  Does

anyone know anything more about this.  Ease of installation, margin of safety,

resistance to knock, thermal loads, etc,...???



Thanks,
