What kind of computer is he running?

I had an RX-7 with a Haltech in it. It was a drag car with a huge turbo the engine's sweet spot was in the 6,500 to 8,500 RPM range, it was a dog up to 5K RPM and sanpped to life at 6K. It was like a switch turned on.

The Haltech had a launch control that retarded to timing 20° when you flipped a switch and held the clutch to the floor and floored the gas. What this did was make the engine "huff" really deep and spool up the turbo but make no power. When you let the clutch go...... Holy poop!! Instant 20° of timing back and full fuel the car felt like it left the ground. I was supposidly a low 10 second car. My goal was to turn it into a dedicated road course car but the hurricanes of 2004 changed my priorities and it was sold after only 3 months of ownership.

It put down 499RWHP and weighed about 2400 lbs. It would loose traction in 3rd gear at 80 MPH on the street as the turbo hit. I could floor that car at 50 MPH in 3rd gear at 4,500 RPM and when that magic 6,500RPM hit the car would snap sideways!! You had to stay in it and countersteer it, if you lifted, well, I knew better to, I would imagine it would not be pretty.

Another option is to take the 80 shot our of the 350 and put it in the Miata. Lots of rae teams use N2O to help spool up the turbo and deal with the lag.
