I think we all understand your situation Richard, and it truly sucks. Field of Dreams my friend....Build it and they will come! I'll buy the SC, its not your fault Mazda is a bunch of &^#*&^$. If you tell me it makes X hp I will believe that. Build it and then put it on another car...use that for the final dyno to market if off of.
Yes Richard...I am grasping at straws and know you will not do this until you can do it right.
Just wishful thinking on my part!

This has got me curious to the point of where I wonder if I have this issue as well.
It's the other way around, you feel a sluggish point, a dip in the power band. It shos up on the dyno exactly how it feels. Dull after 6200 then starts to pick up at 7200. But never really feels the same amount of pull.

Hey RP, I have one of your shifters and live about 100 miles from you. If you need some definitive comparision to prove you have a problem with your car, I might be able to help. I was at Mazfest, and on the straights, mine runs with the rest of them. And it does want to slam into the fuel cutoff while seemingly building power, which is what you should be experiencing.

Just get it into production and I will buy it based on the test bench data alone.
I'm puting my money on GuitarJunkie, he's coming over in a few days to look at it.

interesting.
doesn't the vdi start working right when it goes fubar?
we can pull the motor off the aux ports and try to actuate them by hand--see if that works. with the dump in the afr's, it just looks like the ports aren't actuating...
we can try putting a strip of duct tape across the maf sensor to try to manipulate the readings too.
is the car by any chance an '03? i wasn't paying attention to what year it was when you were first talking about it. i know some of the earlier manifolds went cracky for some reason right when the aux ports were supposed to open.
anyway, i'll come down and see if i can hopefully get something figured out.
thanks for the sheet sigma.

vdi we can lock open, and actuate the p6i by hand... even if we don't get it permanently fixed, i'm sure we can make it work.
fred, i thought i looked more like a user than a dealer?????

I have since done a new dyno where I did an A/B test with the aux motor disconected. It was 154hp to 171hp but the curve was irratic above the opening point. Who has a fax and a scanner? So I can fax it to you and you post it. Ajax, are you out there?
If this thing curved like others do it would go 180hp. And you wouldn't have the hole in the acceleration that makes you want to shift early.
All that other info about early cars is interesting and I wonder why MazdaUSA didn't know about that. It really has to be in that area because it seems to do it intermitantly. There has been times when I think it worked right but can't be sure.
Don't worry Guitar Junkie this is Chatsworth, the **** capitol of the world, you can buy or sell anything here. Pills, Powders and a Hooker, your normal Saturday night. :D
