Yeah, but you are not really taking advantage of those mods without the high-lift cams.
If Mazda doesn't do the revision on the tensioners, I'll probably see about getting a gear drive made to replace the timing belt.
I'm not sure how I'll drive the mechanical fuel pump that way, so I might need to get one of those fancy electrical fuel pumps, but those are always a pain because you have to get the pressure just right to keep from flooding the carb bowls and spilling fuel everywhere.
Its just an endless mod list for these motors.
Next it'll be a lightened reciprocating assembly with shot-peened rods and clevite main bearings on the crank.
