i c they have cams for 1uzfe. I would imagine you could get a good amount of horse/torque from a more aggressive cam, similarly to how vvti engines get more from shifting to a more aggressive cam profile. If you could get close to the power of a vvti engine from changing the cams, that would be huge, and alot cheaper than doing a swap.

207-B sounds like something I could use, I'm curious as to how they would work and total cost as well.

it looks like its new zealand pricing so it will be around 900 or so for the cams, plus u have to remember how many cams come in the kit usually for 2 cams its around 400+ so for 4 cams 900 isnt too bad.

I did take into account the NZ price conversion, they are about $1800 + shipping NZ dollars. And yes, it is for all 4 cams, intake and exhaust. Not exactly cheap, but could get some gains that would otherwise be unattainable.
