no sure of any in england, you'd most likely have to go custom made to tell you the truth.

i think there is some places in america that have them, but in order to purchase and ship them out to england, you might as well get it locally due to cost and time.

Thanks mate, just testing the water to see if there are after market performance cams out there and what kind of price they are compared to custom made cams. Also taking into consideration the favourable exchange rate at the moment.

If your serious about building an engine, I wouldn't do anything but custom. Then you can have them made to fit your engine. And then you don't have to settle for what they decided. You can have your valve timing to exactly what you want it to be. And then you can maximise your performance in the ranges that you want it.


MRV6? You dropped a 1mz into an MR2? PICS!

Never even seen a 1mz camshaft, but I bet if you had them make you some new cams using the 3vz-fe or 5vz-fe profiles, you could trade some of the 1mz's top end horsepower for twice the torque on the bottom end!

Just a thought.

Hmm, like you're way of thinking.
