No wheel to wheel yet. Just track days, trying to get better & having a good time in the process. Blew the engine last day of the season last year.
This thing would need a ton of work to be ready for spec miata anyway. Just a good shitbox to learn in.
Got the engine mostly back together for the track car this weekend. A little porting to do on the intake manifold, and it should be ready to drop back in next weekend. Itching to get back on the track.
One of the best things about the Alpha was it's track. Even compared to the twin rail 3" power claw is a different beast.
The Alpha track on a twin rail turbo catalyst.... Might get my attention.
Probably sound real nice too.
My buddy has a set of long tubes on his challenger with a full exhaust. Sounds mean. Got kicked off the race track last fall though for being too loud.
I've got trucks that day otherwise. Couple of my old fleet trucks were oilfield. Ran 12 hours a day during the winter. Glad they didn't show engine hours back then. But i think the newest mds engines may have been more prone to the problem.
Had 5 between personal and fleet trucks. Had 400k on my 04. Hemi tick on every single one. Never any engine issues though besides the tick and occasional broken manifold studs. Front end on the heavy dutys was a different story.
