The biggest reason the JRSC won't fit is because the Pro's engine is tranversely mounted, where the Miata engine is not. The only way I've seen that an SC *might* work is to use a cold-side manifold like the one that BR Performance makes for the Miata, but I still don't think their manifold will clear our upper motor mount. Besides - why bother? The return on investment is maybe 160whp. For the same money you could go GTX or KL-ZE with MUCH better yield.

No prob ... I wish there was something out there for us in the way of a supercharger. It definitely would be the easiest bolt-on around, but the price would have to be lower and I don't think that will happen either.
