does any one (mainly b6t people) have any experience with the cams that CS offers? i was looking into the specs and saw that the when compared to stock m1 miata cams they don't differ a whole lot: 192 (m1) intake @.05 to 200 (cs) intake @.05 and 204(m1)exhaust to 205(cs)exhaust.
basically i thought the b6t had more aggresive cams to begin with. i dont want to spend 425 for minimal hp gains...
lemme know what you guys think...

For better info on cams & how they help on the B6 motors, try the Miata forums. guys there have a LOT of expereince with that engine.
As for turbo grinds, you're gonna find that they are much milder than NA cams. Since you're dealing with a pressure fed system you need to look at duration & timing more than lift. Turbos dont need as much lift as an NA.
Also have to take into account the actual use of the car, more specificly, what RPM range it will be operating in most of the time. Different cams "come on" at different RPMs.
But just from my end of it, these high geared little cars need a tourqe curve that looks like a table, up high, then flat all the way till it cuts out. More power to turn those gears!
