I'm going for a track oriented build, sounds like the GT2560 or EFR6758 is best option. And around 300WHP is suitable, and since there aren't people who have experience with the TSE, i'll leave it to that.. That way i can focus more suspension/exterior with the power to back it up. Thanks to those that gave me good advice!
And later on so if i feel there is need for more power and i've got the money, i'll consider LS Swap.

A stock power miata with a decent suspension and sticky tires, in the hands of a good driver, is enough of a track weapon to absolutely frighten inexperienced passengers. It is an excellent, quite possibly the best, platform to learn to track with.
Add power and that miata becomes a beast.
Power magnifies mistakes. Learn to track properly in a lower power car. Build the safety equipment and suspension into it first, and use street rubber. Add stickier tires. Do the brakes. Then add the power last, to a car you already know how to drive hard at the limit safely.

With an LS, it's like trying to learn the car all over again, and at the same time you're shaking out the kinks. Too much going on.

You do need more cooling and go through brake pads and gas faster, though.
