The dyno shows that a header doesnt do much at all for hp in a miata - the stock peice is pretty good. 1-2hp even when you uncork the exhaust and intake and freshen up the motor. It is a cali model but until I get a CEL or it gives me problems Im not going to touch it. Its 99% DD so Im more concerned with the least amount of hassle rather than tweaking every HP out of it.
Its got the black hard top off my 94 right now and it looks pretty good. The rollbar I got is a "brainstorm" style bar, that mounts pretty far back in between the seatbelt towers. This is perfect for a DD/ occasional track car IMO (also why I didnt get any diagonals) but Im pretty sure the harness bar is going to interfere with the windblocker such that it is going to be pretty much impossible to relocate it.
