Thanks Ben. I'll probably go ahead and pick up a WP, and all the related errata involved to do a full tb job, as long as the timing belt is coming off anyway.
CJ, yeah, figured I could always get my money back out of them.

Yes, I was thinking backwards. I'd want to advance the exhaust cam 1 tooth.
I'm not finding good info on cam timing. I assume I could reduce overlap the same amount by retarding the intake cam by 1 tooth. Right? What would be the theoretical difference between those two plans?
I'm really going for more midrange torque over more upper end hp.

yaaay, finally here
the engravings in the second pic are hard to see, but they say webcams 505+2![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Lift on these puppies is .352
Duration @ .050 is 200/205
Stock cams are lift .309
Duration @ .050 is 192/204
So not a huge change, as these are designed to work with the stock valve train, but the extra 1.1mm lift should help spool.
<edit> aww dammit, the attachments failed because I'm out of space :(
