My advice; drive it for a year in stock trim.
Turn off all the drivers aids and floor it; if that don't scare you then tune it.
In stock trim the car is an absolute BEAST!!!!
You'll find your best mod is tires and regular maintenance.
I'm 100% stock with DWS 06 tires and I whipped up on a 2012 C63, Charger SRT, Scat Pack and countless others.
Unless you're chasing a HP number; for street use 400+ HP is plenty along with a "limited" top speed of 165 mph
Again; congratulations!
The Miata is probably the most balanced convertible cars I've ever driven. The worst being a volvo convertible.
That felt like it was held together with duck tape and nails

I get a lot of enjoyment out of the Miata. So well balanced. Great for hills and mountain roads. The more turns the better. And yeah, stock I've already gapped a couple Subies (tuned), a couple of ricer Civics and a couple of others that wanted to step on it. I intend to keep the mechanics stock, like you suggest, while I learn to really feel the car and get the rev matches ironed out. It drives so differently than anything I've had. A little worried to turn off traction control quite yet as I'm so used to low powered cars I tend to hop on the throttle pre-apex because the Miata kind of requires it to get any exit speed!
