I dont really think any of them have a REALLY GOOD header built up yet.

130-135 whp in a RWD is probably quite a bit over 160hp. With a typical 20-25% loss for a RWD, you'd get 160-180 bhp (crank).

But even with an RX-7 VAF, you're not likely to be able to get 150 hp out of the Protege engine.

Oh, and I never said to use a Miata manifold. Rather, I said custom intake manifold, as in fabricated, perhaps even with individual TBs.
