What good would a cam do if you can't tune the car?

Pretty much the truth right there...unless the oem computer could tune itself in this situation, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it if you do change the cam profiling.

No one makes cams for the F but Toyota. They're nothing like conventional cams - the lobes are pressed on, not cast, ground, and heat treated as conventional units are.

There probably would be some benefit to more lift, but you'd also shorten spring life, so like anything, there's a tradeoff you have to accept.

Good luck finding someone who wants to do something with cams for the F. It's a miniscule market.
