Default Cams for V8 gs

Anyone ever gaet some made> I remember one CL members was porting his heads, but no results were posted.

I found this link about 1UZ cams.

I would go ahead and opt for a supercharger for $6k.

I'm sure that's $1500.00 for all 4 cams. Not $6000.

Way too much $$ for cams. I wish companies like Comp Cams made cams for our cars.

That's not bad, I think. It's right in line with other import performance cams at $375.00 per cam.

Sorry to disagree, but it plainly says "for all four cams".

I'm thinking that that is a NON VVTI motor so what they are doing does not neccessarily apply to us.

Hey buddy don't shoot the messenger.

They edited their page today and yesterday I just checked thier source. At the time of the 2nd post of this thread it said "per piece" in brackets. The statement of "Number all four camss in packaging:4" was also added new. This thread must have forced them to be more clear.

I dont think they will work on the VVTi. You can contact Kelford directly for special price. However, I don't think they have it for the VVTi. You can also regrind them at your local engine builder for about $400 a set (Yes four pieces).
