Hey, depends on what your willing to do and spend...lol...
do you wanna rip the engine out, or just add on's?
And then if you wanna spend some money....
Add on's
reprogram the computer
CAI
Headers with highflow cat.
adjustable fuel pressure regulator
That Should add about...30hp...
Ripping engine out...well theres soo much to list...lol..
And too much to spend...

before headers and a repgrogram get exhuast....
what kind of Miata is it? The one with the turbo?
Or MAZDAPSPEED one i should say... the normal ones are
about 2500 lbs, so about 6-700 lbs lighter than your GT, however your engine is making 28 more hp and 80 more lbs of torque... if hes got a normal one. Its proably gonna take a bit to bring em down, at least a few mods id say. An intake, exhaust, and a reprogram should help you out there, but those things have a decent power to weight ratio those Miatas, esepecially the MAZDASPEED ones.

Don't bother with hi-flow cat. The stockers actually flow very good. Put that money into other parts.

uh well

the Ram Air on the GA doesnt work as good as it could, because of the way the engine is designed, and the way the system itself is designed. A CAI would probably work a lot better than the Ram Air.

Lots of info there, you can go with set like a Borla or SLP, or get a local shop to fab you a custom exhaust.

CAI/Intake

Good info there for intakes.

The Other Guys and S&S make headers, RSM racing specializes in alot of stuff for the 3400 and other GM engines... Im not sure of any other companies that have as much stuff as RSM does?
Anyone else know anything?
