LOL! Honestly, part of the reason I picked up the Miata was in order to avoid the temptation to mod my daily driver (I've went overboard on past cars to say the least haha). This bugger is still under warranty for another 2 1/2 years (thanks to CPO), so I'm hesitant to do anything to it when I have a ~2100 lbs play toy Rather than dumping a good amount of cash into my daily driver, I'm thinking of using said cash to invest in either a V8 swap or turbo kit for the Miata.
Although, out of sheer irritation with the stock clutch release (aside from the sticking issue I'm having under hard launching), I was actually thinking about picking up your modified clutch valve to get rid of some of the power delay between gears. I noticed you guys joined www.coloradomazdaclub.com a while back, good stuff! I actually used to be a moderator over there (formerly arctic_blue83), glad to see you guys have an active part of the local community! I'll have to stop by the shop sometime

Rule of thumb at the drag strip is for every 1000ft of actual/or DA it costs you a 1/10. 7000ft elevation is a loss of ~7/10. It will affect N/A cars more then boosted applications as well.
