Multiple winning builds are compared side by side, giving readers a clear picture of what works best under class rules. Beyond suspension, the book reveals the hidden power of the stock ECM, with dyno-tested fuel strategies: premium gas, E85 blends, and ignition timing tweaks, unlocking over 10 horsepower without touching the engine. Packed with data, lessons learned, and a no-nonsense roadmap, this is the ultimate resource for racers ready to squeeze every last tenth out of their Miata.
