        you would possibly gain a slightly more aggressive set of cams or cams with a little less overlap with stock cam timing (hear-say). Not exactly sure what the differences in the profiles are but it's something worth looking into if you're all about budget upgrades. I would be curious to know.

                  Thanx for the get backs! I appreciate it. Was offered a Sephia head and pistons, and also Miata head and pistons. I knew about the positives of the Miata but not the Sephia.
                  Thanx again!!!!
