Javier,

I ordered a Voodoo knob from Bill Cardell too. Mine arrived in 5 days, which 

by my calculations means it was doing an average of 66.666 Miles per hour 

all the way.



Sooo..... using my super sharp deductive reasoning ;-), this means that if 

you add a Voodoo knob to your miata then your top speed should change 

according to the formula V = v1 + v2

therefore



For a standard Miata

Terminal Velocity = 120mph(miata) + 0(standard knob) = 120mph



For a voodoo equipt Miata

Terminal Velocity = 120mph(miata) + 66.666(voodoo knob) = 186.666mph



Thus proving what we all knew already. Voodoo knobs make your Miata faster.

PS The voodoo knob was a Magnum sized one, so an original sized one would 

probably have a higher power to weight ratio, and would have got here 

quicker:-)
