You've got the DOHC, which means there will be a lot of miata parts you can use, such as cams. A lot of miata internals will work in your engine, and they'll usually end up costing you less than performance mx3 parts too.
Spend an hour or so searching the site, you'll find a lot of useful info.

I dunno if this is bad for anything, but i put a BP09 ECU in (protege ecu) with a BP VAF too. ECU raises the redline to around 7500rpm and i definitely feel more power too.

Across the board, meaning in every instance where I've run into a SOHC it's hard to find parts, a lot of SOHC owners just modify as much as they can and that's all they can do, it would be worth it to swap to a DOHC if you really want to do internals and such, this is especially true for Saturn owners as I used to be one, kind of the same deal with the mazda's I'm seeing, just get a DOHC or milk what you can out of the SOHC and kinda accept it for what it is doesn't mean it won't serve you well.
http://www.gude.com has a cam for the sohc too. I'm not sure but i think it's a re-grind though.
