    Performance cams for naturally aspirated 1.6

    Looking for a set of Kelford, HKS, Piper etc cams for my 1.6. Anybody have a set tucked away on a shelf somewhere? Miata has a standalone ecu.

    I'd reach out to Rod @ Tetsuya Garage if you haven't yet. He might be able to source a set from Buyee/Yahoo Japan Auctions.

    Good luck! -Matt

    HKS, Toda and Maruha offer plenty of options, depends on your application.

    I've got Piper Cams in mine (based in the UK). Kent cams are also an options for those outside of the US. Very few cams in the NA are simply are "drop in" affair. Unlike the NB models - you usually need a standalone to get the most out of them.
    You want a good car. I want a good miata.

    Thanks guys. It seems like it shouldn't be hard to source cams. But then, not a lot of 1.6 love. With my ITB's nearly ready to install, would love to pull just a bit more out of the engine.
