Yes, people have run them. What's the question?

Similar to the Spoon cams, they're more of a road-race cam. Big primaries and a smooth powerband. What are your goals with the car?

I still have mine.. wouldn't trade them for the world..

12.5:1 "GLSR" 4.9 final drive B16 transmission. We love the car. Not made for any drag racing, though. So please don't ask for 1/4 mile times


what's your question?

I wouldn't run them if you're looking for the most "top end or peak" power. SOLID cams however as others stated. Mid range is killer.

I've had a chance to tune and examine the B/C's. Both excellent camshafts and awesome, great Street camshafts.

Just read this. Anyone else have input on this...
Interesting Comments by Endyn on Toda B-D Cams:

Valve problems can also be attributed to valve springs failing to control valve motion. I won't build any engine with Toda cams these days because there are no springs we've ever found that will last any length of time with them. When the springs go soft, valvetrain separation occurs and the valves typically end up being "dropped" on the seats, rather than eased to their seats by the closing ramps on the cams, thus pounding out the valves and seats.
