The miata forum claims other wise about the BP. When the block is decked and head shaved is when they become "interference". This is per N/A threads that I've read at www.miata.net

Try the mazda forums while you're at www.msprotege.com they encompass all the mazda cars but specialize in proteges for the most part.

Bump up your timing a few degrees. More power and better gas mileage.
300hp...

It should look like this. If it looks like that one, give up. and you calling it peppy was a mistake.

Minus the Ford emblem, of course.
