    Post 99 Miata Cams

    Would they make good horsepower increases or would it be cheaper/more beneficial to go with regrinds? If i go with regrinds what are the most horsepower i can draw from the cams? What would the lift & duration have to be like?

    the 99+ Miata is around 140hp or something I gforget.Keep in mind that this is only partly because of the cams. They also have a redesigned cylinder head, higher compression, and better flowing manifolds. You would probably see a slight increase, but not a whole lot.
    I don't know if regrinds would be cheaper but if you got them custom ground then you can probably get as much horsepower as you can afford, assuming you've got a fuel system to support them and a properly tuned ECU to control it.

      there's a lot more to it...

      how bad of an idle is acceptable? where is your intended powerband? how high are you revving? etc etc etc
