I suspect some spend more money in the Miata class than should be reasonable. That's racing.

I've heard some stories about the spec miata engine builds. I don't remember the specifics, but I think the stories that I've heard may have included guys buying 10 engines to use the one that dynoed the best. Or spending tons of cash having a motor rebuild to the stock, as required, specs, but balanced and blueprinted to ensure max power. I don't know the truth, but I know that when competition is involved, and when there are folks that are uber competitive, anything that can be done to get an edge up will be done.
