Again, sorry for the sideline.. but my research shows that much like Porsche it takes big money to get a small horsepower increase... the only economical way to get HP out of a Miata is to go forced induction... without that otherwise you start with 135HP, drop a couple grand on intake and exhaust, and end up with 150HP. I think the turbo/supercharge guys are getting 200-300HP depending on how hard you want to push it... then there are the V8 conversions.
But back to the Porsche discussion
