What can I do add or remove from my motor in order to get maximum power gains from this motor without swapping the motor to anything else.
Cams,head work, valves, etc.
I would like some input from people who have done any of these upgrades.

thanks a lot.

The best info on boring the B6 engine is to be found over at the Miata forums. There are a few guys that have done extensive mods to the 1.6 DOHC engine & will be able to tell you about what parts to look for & what is needed to complete the upgrades.
