so it it like:
miata intake - on mx exhaust and then mx-exhaust on mx-intake?

i though you replaced both cams but switched intake and exhaust cames when you install

thats right you can use them both..you just have to swap them!! But if you are planning on doing this mod i suggest getting adjustable cam gears also..makes things alot easier when getting the miata cams dialed in!!

Anyone heard about these obx cams? Are they any good?

Those would be decent duration and lift for a turbo street, street/strip engine. The specs they show appear to be the advertised duration and lift. What you really want to know is the duration and lift a 0.50"

I'd say they are similar to the Corksport Cams (made by Web). The Advertised duration and lift is always MUCH higher than the actual duration and lift @ 0.50" and the rating at 0.50" is the important specs to look at.

Yeah I think I'll be buying them...Hard to find a better price than that.

they should be good for a 5 to 10 HP increase. boosted they might make more.

as long as they are both the same lift and duration you can swap them in. BUT be prepaired to play with the timming alot! they will be timmed 180 deg out from the OEM timming marks, and you will probably have to advance the dist.
