Like I said, I'm most interested in just watching what everyone else is doing and maybe adapting a few concepts to my own car. I'm not ready to get too "gung-ho" just yet. Especially since my miata is my auto-x and "drag" car in its free time. Lol
That was more my point- aeromods are great for improving acceleration. Your post seemed like you weren't sure about the use of mods, and that your car was oriented for other things- which was why I made my post.

So some tactics like lowering RR won't help you, but some key things here can really help you out, like weight savings, dropping center of gravity, and helping acceleration without adding power. I lurked for quite a while before I joined, and before I started modifying. You're moving further, faster, than I did
