Default NA at 130+ mph

Looking for some input from anyone who has been 130-135+ in a NA.....

How stable (or not) is a NA at these speeds in a straight line? If you've run these speeds, are there any recommended body mods or is a stock body NA ok at these speeds without body mods?

Thanks for sharing your personal experiences...

I've done 176 in a straight line. Started to experience lightness and front end lift about 160. I have a type r lip in front that provides a bit of down force, but would definitely add a splitter if I was to do it again. 130 felt pretty stable with the flyin Miata track suspension on the car.

For sure had mine over that several times. Check out Gunpilots epic thread on the subject. Lots of discussion there and results there. https://www.v8miata.net/performance-...xas-mile-2610/

Thanks! I just read through that entire thread. I already have singular motorsports hood vents, R type front spoiler, and a KG works small rear spoiler. I have mud guards front and rear. A fe questions.....should the mud guards come off? What size 15 and 16 inch tires were you running in the mile?

Thanks!
