Only thing that i was concerned with when i did mine, the AFM being sideways like that, I am unsure if it effects the flap inside? IDK for sure it may not do ne thing.


This has been discussed a lot concering the 1.6l miatas with the same style AFM. Most people have no problem with them like that, some have to change the spring tension. As long as its running fine and your AFR is ok, then don't worry about it.

Hey man I see you reving to 7 grand?!? To conserve your engine and to get the best performance, the 3sgte reaches peak power at 3k, so shifting anywhere after 5-5.5k will just lose you acceleration and not to mention unesecary stress on the engine, just passing on a bit of knowledge Ive picked up. 


I think you're thinking of peak torque. Peak power is somwhere over 5500, probably at least a 6 or 6500. There is absolutely nothing wrong with revving it to its stock fuel cut as long as you change the oil on a regular basis and your oiling system is in good condition (i.e. you have decent pressure all the time). I redline or bounce the rev limiter on my cars every single day and its never caused a problem. To acheive the best performance you should be shifting somewhere at, or just after the power peak so that when the revs drop, you'll be right at the peak torque. If you're really doing it right, you'll shift a few hundred rpm lower for every upshift you do, this keeps the car between peak power and peak torque and gives you the most 'area under the curve' therefore the best acceleration.
