I'm in the process of ordering the Mazdaspeed intake, exhaust cams & High compresson pistons along with the indigo pulley set and lightened fly wheel for my P5. does anyone know what kind of performance gains I should see from this set up. I want to test the limits of a NA motor before I go turbo or supercharged.

I would not suggest putting in the high compression pistons if your gonna go boosted. I would lower the compression with bulletproof internals, ad go for 2 bar boost 
But to answer your question, you may get 15-20 whp with those mods, after you add a higher flow exhaust system then the stock one.

I'm yet to find out why, but it seems the popular thing to do is install the FS-ZE intake cam and the Mazdaspeed exhaust cam. If someone would answer this, I'd appreciate it
So, FS-ZE in: $155
Mazdaspeed in & ex: $189
And I think it's a pretty basic install, but you should get a Protege shop manual to deal with timing them right and what not.
While we're on the subject, would installing these cams cause any sig. difference in gas mileage?

I think the gas mileage will depends on the angle of the cam... that's what I was told but don't remember the reason behind it, I think it has something to do with the valve open timing but I'm not sure.... maybe someone can help?
I would like to find out the intake cam profile on the FS-ZE as well as the Mazdaspeed one...
Where did you get yours from? Croksports?

Do a search and all your questions will be answered.
I havn't noticed any diffrence in gas milage. They havn't been in the car very long though.KYREDP5 said:

Tried that. A lot. think I've read most threads dealing with cams, and am yet to find the answer. Could you tell me, or point me to a thread if it's lengthy?

one mod that will significantly improve gas mileage is the unorthodox crank pulley.....i have had it for a few weeks now, and i have gone 300 miles on 5/8's of a tank, and for those that are to lazy to figure it out, it meant that when i was done the needle was half way in between the half and quarter mark.
