All year Miatas with the 1.8l engine will work. Your best bet would be the 99+ cams, but you'll need the solid lifters as well. Gains?? I don't know. I'm planning on getting them myself but haven't really had the opportunity to get down to the dealership while the parts department is open.
The pistons should also fit, they are higher compression in the later models
