Engine Masters did a video of progressively bigger heads on a mild short block and got better power across the band as they got bigger, even with a mild cam. Their conclusion: get the biggest heads you can afford and but the cam that fits the way you drive. Big heads help at any RPM.
not only did you pick up power but you improved the characteristics of the engine, seems more responsive/ explosive and seems to accelerate the engine much quicker
I love that when you get on it you can tell that you’re really “really” driving the car. You look so determined to push it to its absolute limits and it’s hilarious. Bad ass car and it’s an insane swap. Just seeing the hp/weight difference is impeccable. It’s been my dream to LS swap a Miata and one day I hope it as bad ass as this one. Great job guys.
3rd Gen Guy agreed, the Chevy v6 is probably the better choice for most lightweight cars. For instance the v6 in the camaro weighs less than the gt86 flat four, and makes similar power to the typical supercharger kits on the gt86.
Also, your 100% right about the compression; anyone who says 11.5-12:1 or even a little more is too much for pump gas doesn't belong on a laptop tuning a car. Hell I've tuned an 11.8:1 setup on 87 and had no problem, albeit down on power but still I have a perfectly safe and efficient street cruise tune for an 11.8:1 416 LS on 87 regular gasoline. Knock count is still perfect it's just running a very conservative MBT.
my 2004 Buck Rainier 4.2L I6 is 11:1 on 87 oct. GM made the water jacket bigger and flow better to keep it cool. 275HP / 275 Lb Ft. If I could deck the heads and port them and run E85 to stop detonation , to get 350+ HP I would do it. I love my RWD Super luxury SUV.
Dude, such a badass little car. Admittedly, I’ve always liked the Miata. I always thought it carried subtle similarities to the RX-7 and even the Viper. The fact that your hood has the viper ram air cutout puts the icing on the cake. Love it!!
This build is so inspiring. I loved driving my NB Miata it was a pleasure to drive even stock. Way better handling than my FD RX7. I could only imagine how crazy a V8 Miata must feel. Makes me want to buy a Miata again. Keep it up.
Sick miata man. So clean and I love the fact that it still looks MOSTLY stock. Doesnt sound it. But if it was at a car meet im sure people just walk past it.
How did you check for PTV clearance? I have a 6.0 with square port head and an ASA Cam and I always wanted to bump compression but wasn't confident on the ptv clearance
It's crazy how back when I dabbled in Street Cars, 2003'ish, there was 1 Turbo Miata locally, putting down I believe 375whp (maybe a little more, but damn good numbers back then) on the factory 1.6l I think, and was a nightmare to race on the Highway. From a dig it couldn't hook, but from a 40 roll or so, sob hurt so many feelings, including mine... Crazy to see how far things have come. Also, I love the Shirts. Need to order me one shortly.
What a nifty little sleeper! Now you need wide enough tires on the back to get the power to the ground... and probably a wheelie bar to boot, when it *DOES* hook up!🤣👍👍
Yeah that was fun. I’d like to take a bunch more people for rides. It’s really quick and violent, I think I could take out just about anybody and impress them!
Love the Miata, it really is the new Cobra, which is a car I've been in love with for almost 40 years now. Love dogs too, great combination in a video! Show us more passes of the Miata. (It's called an MX5 here in Europe)
how do you know what this guy watches? maybe he is a big fan of haggard. and all that kyler was saying is that it might be a reference and that this car actually does something besides blow up multiple times. you got butt huwt real quick.
you actually think it possible THIS PRO ASS TUNER watches those fuckin goons? nigga this guy watches dora the explorer before he watches haggard. HE DIDNT SAY IT MIGHT BE A REFERENCE. HE SAID IT IS. READ THE WORDS DUMBFUCK. like fuck any actual car people watch haggard. like fuck.
electron being take a god damn chill pill. Nothing you said was constructive in the argument. And know one said he watches them daily. And stop generalizing people. You don't have to be a hack to have seen a haggard video.
It looks like a mini viper 😂
I heard that the same designer worked on the Miata and the Viper.
@@hilossrt4yup that’s true, i’ve met the guy actually, it was in Monaco last year
Seeing/hearing "V8 Miata" just makes me smile everytime. Bad ass.
God this channel is good. A little bit of learning mixed with a little bit of entertainment and a bunch of cool cars.
Tracy Goodlett totally agree
Don't forget. DOGS!!!
Learning and burning!!! The only thing I can think of that goes together as well is a bacon cheeseburger.
that aint a miata thats a mini dodge viper
Really, its an AC Cobra.
I seen the thumbnail and thought I was a viper at first lol
I think I'm with Pyro, it's more like a mini AC Cobra lol, but yeah Pancho kinda looks like a viper in that thumbnail
sharkface m i think that miata would stroke a viper
@@Pyrochazm more like a GM cobra...

ever since the "monster miata" I've wanted to build a v8 miata. Yours sounds and performs awesomely
hey look, another mazdaspeed guy. i used to own one. now i own an evo.
I used to work for a company that sold the brand to monster motorsports in California. I got to drive some of the most amazing builds. Was super fun.
not only did you pick up power but you improved the characteristics of the engine, seems more responsive/ explosive and seems to accelerate the engine much quicker
That's a cool ass miata
Im guessing the one thumb down lives on the street you tested on 👍👍👍 lmao
Lmao nice
There's almost always one idiot who can't just walk away without negativity and it's against the law to shoot them lol
Haha good one
Those thumbs down aren't for the video, it's their opinion of their life.
You have to make a video with this thing on the drag strip. Being so little with the hp its gotta go
flying munk89 it's nothing without traction! Unless you've got DRs on it, it'll never hook from the dig.
Newzchspy yeah I know. And you know what that means..... he needs tubs lol
Is he going for zero to 60, Or 60 to I can do this all day?
flying munk89 let's all guess the 1/4 mile time. I'm gonna say 10.379. lol
He doesn’t need tubs if hes running small slicks witht the flares. You can definitely get it to hook up then.
Small block Chevy, Best engine ever made.
you can find them stuffed in every brand, model and type of car or truck on the planet.
I love the way your friends face lights up when your on it :-) thumbs up
Seriously, priceless, lmao.
Somebody was having the time of his life!
Dig the license plate....👍
Robert Evans - beat me to it
Bone stock

The smile on your buddies face makes this video so much better. Seeing the joy he gets riding along shows really how fun that little monster is.
Passenger's smile can cure cancer.
You make me want an ls in my miata!
He makes me want an ls and a Miata...

Fuck that I'll I'll 2jzgte swap a miata
However the ls swap is just nasty
Few videos with a ls turbo miatas. Easy 800whp
If it wasnt for Cleetus i wouldnt be here. But im so glad i am XD
Cluck Feetus tho.
The passanger had a big ass smile as soon as he hit the throttle thats what its all about awesome job guys!!
Nothing like a few golden doggo's to finish up a vid
His non-stop smile in the passenger is brilliant

That thing gets up to the speed limit quick!
That has to be the best miata iv ever seen. Much love to what you do and keep on making POWER!
thats always been my dream setup. absolutley love that body style with the hardtop
Smiles all around when the car is accelerating. Love it!
I really like Pancho, but I have to say my favorite ever is Thunderbolt (Turbo Tom's Garage).
Numinous I agree
I want to see them 🆚
Passenger reaction said it all lmao
All ear to ear smiles and looking around at the awesomeness smoking out the back
One of the prettiest Miatas I've seen, nailed the stance.
Hi im your uber driver haha
Best Uber ride ever 😃
I need to buy a miata for the ls7 I have sitting in my garage... damn that thing is bad ass
This build is so inspiring. I loved driving my NB Miata it was a pleasure to drive even stock. Way better handling than my FD RX7. I could only imagine how crazy a V8 Miata must feel. Makes me want to buy a Miata again. Keep it up.
Your such a Dork, Jeremy😂 "More Cow Bell"
That smile on the passengerseat! Lights up my morning! 😄
You guys killed it. For real, actually, killed it.
Man you gotta get some slicks on it and take it to the strip!!
Well technically it’s on slicks road course slicks
Fasterproms Are you ever going to take it to the strip?
Tha Hoova its a miata bro miatas only like the curvy gay tracks not the straight non gay tracks
Ben Israel you should know you are gay
Screw the drag strip, take it on a road course or drifting !
The passengers face says everything there is to know about this car!!!
Very cool!
When a passenger has to smile like that, you know its fun!
What a proper build. Poncho looks like a blast
you guys look like having fun on coco beating the crap out of a v8 miata and i like that, cheers buddys for the work you put in it
I love the power gains and of course I love the pups!
Thank you for explaining everything in detail for people like me who do not know a lot. Your channel is great!
your buddy was just grinning his ass off on that test run. love it
I love it when the exhaust sounds really choppy like that.
Race neighbor
Do it for the subscribers
Do it for bofus
Do it for Ed
Do it for breakfast
Do it for pineapple on pizza
Sick miata man. So clean and I love the fact that it still looks MOSTLY stock. Doesnt sound it. But if it was at a car meet im sure people just walk past it.
This is slowly becoming my favorite UA-cam channel
This made me tear. If I had mine set up like this I'b be crying a river of joy.
The smile on the passengers face the whole time says it all.
George ported the heads and installed a permanent smile lol!
Jeremy drives like a maniac.. and I freakin love it!
Since that insane engine doesn't really need a comment, let me say this:
Not a huge fan of blue cars, but... DAMN! That paintjob is beautiful...
Bonus dogs at the end? How much better can this channel get?
Love the paint job of the Panchoo. Rare paint scheme
Your content is next level! Explaining things is so awesome.
That thing is a rocketship! I love it & the channel is the best. I cant wait until you get your dads vette tuned!
Awsome !!!!!!! You know it's good, when you and your passenger have an ear to ear grin every time you hit it. 😁😁
Jeremy, the face you pull at 9:44! 😂 Hahahahahaha! You da man - keep up the stirling work, Sir!
Bro your miata is freaking awesome I love it. I’d buy it immediately if you were selling it nice work bro
That thing has to be terrifying to drive! 250 horsepower feels like a lot in a Miata!
9:05 looks like Ben Affleck's really digging the new batmobile...
Thats awesome! I Finished building my v8 NB Miata on my channel too, What a perfect combo!
Jeremy reminds me of an early Commander Riker on Star Trek... Make it so Number One
Always just the right amount of Golden Retriever in your videos, well done!
This isn't the little miata that could... This is the little miata that does.
"Hi, I'm your Uber Driver."
Oh, HELL yeah!
How did you check for PTV clearance? I have a 6.0 with square port head and an ASA Cam and I always wanted to bump compression but wasn't confident on the ptv clearance
Beautiful build...so clean!! Congrats man
That’s the largest smile on all of UA-cam!!!! Love it I’m looking for 1 to build with my boys
This man knows how to build a car, like I would. I like him.
That guys grin...he was lovin that shit...LoL
I love the look of your Miata Jeremy. It looks like a mini viper to me. Now it just needs a big F1 procharger to finish it off
Subscribed MOSTLY because of the detailed explanation on compression.
Ok it was really because of Poncho🤣
I hope you will spread some of that timing on Taylor Rays miatta when he’s got that running! a hard working dude that deserves some Fasterproms magic
Good GOD this Miata is SICK! Jeremy, I think you've convinced me to build a V8 Miata.
I like seeing what's happening while Cleetus is not there and the other guys. :)
Also a 5 barrel holly at the end! :D
Love the paint on this car
That Miata is freaking sick!!
What a beautiful Miata. I approve of this video :)
It's crazy how back when I dabbled in Street Cars, 2003'ish, there was 1 Turbo Miata locally, putting down I believe 375whp (maybe a little more, but damn good numbers back then) on the factory 1.6l I think, and was a nightmare to race on the Highway. From a dig it couldn't hook, but from a 40 roll or so, sob hurt so many feelings, including mine... Crazy to see how far things have come. Also, I love the Shirts. Need to order me one shortly.
A bike is way faster
What a nifty little sleeper! Now you need wide enough tires on the back to get the power to the ground... and probably a wheelie bar to boot, when it *DOES* hook up!🤣👍👍
I feel like that's the kind of car that does rolling burnouts in 5th gear at 150. I love it !
Get off of Forza
More timing with that much comp on pump fuel is amazing! Care to disclose how much timing you were able to run?
Review video on everything that is done to the LS3 engine!!!!!!
Bloody awesome. Now just need to tub the rear and put on huge road legal drag radials I'd imagine.
Wow! Your Dodge Viper looks so damn cool!
That car is so rowdy. Love it. Love your dogs too.
Your intros are the best
Daves Racing Channel if you had better content yes
Sounds so goooood! More drive by videos.
god I love that Miata man I'm glad I found your channel
The sound that thing makes! It sounds awesome!
That thing is an on off switch with that miata body wrapped around that v8.
I love golden retrievers. You are so lucky to have five of them
Passenger was so giddy, like a little kid, awesome to see.
Yeah that was fun. I’d like to take a bunch more people for rides. It’s really quick and violent, I think I could take out just about anybody and impress them!
Now that's a Mad Miata! Sicknasty dude
Besides Toms Turbo Garage Miata this is the sickest Miata on UA-cam.
Love the Miata, it really is the new Cobra, which is a car I've been in love with for almost 40 years now. Love dogs too, great combination in a video! Show us more passes of the Miata. (It's called an MX5 here in Europe)
Old mates reactions are priceless pmsl every time :-)
The little miata that could is a haggard garage reference lol
Kyler Adams nope this the Real Miata that could
No this is the little miata that DID.
how do you know what this guy watches? maybe he is a big fan of haggard. and all that kyler was saying is that it might be a reference and that this car actually does something besides blow up multiple times. you got butt huwt real quick.

Love the explanation of things in your channel man love it keep it going
