This makes more power/torque at idle than a BP miata does at redline, doesn't it?

The power meters in it claim about 150 ft-lbs when moving off idle, so yeah.

Speaking of meters, I'm only one hard right hander away from pegging it in all 4 directions:

If I'm lucky they'll let me ask for a new one and I'll pick out a competition blue one instead, but that's about it.
