Has anyone instaled the 2nd version of the TODA cams? I am thinking of getting a pair but I'm not too sure what the down side of the aggressive nature of these cams would be.

TODA had also informed me that b'cause the cams are so aggressive,it would not be possible to install a thinner head gasket i.e the spoon HG (0.4mm).

We will be carrying these cams. They are version 2 of the spec A cams. They require valve train parts from Toda. As far as dyno specs and others we are also waiting from Toda. The first shipment should be available in mid-late June along with the next shipments of Toda Header for the s2000. PM me for availability on ordering them. We will also be able to provide tech support only to customers who order from us. We were told stritcly from TOda USA. That anyone buy these Toda parts from Grey marketing will be not able to receive their Tech support or their warranty. I will be happy to help out anyone with questions. You can PM me or give us a call.

Thank you

one downside to more aggressive cams is a rough idle... If a bit of grit doesn't bother you, you won't see better gains aside from stroking the engine...

Rough idle won't happen with VTEC, as idle runs on the non VTEC cam lobes.

2003spa2000,
I would tend to disagree with you when you say 'you won't see better gains' . The whole idea of the cams is to enable the car the 'breath' better = gains. Whether the gains are significant when taking into account the money:gains ratio is yet to be seen after I dyno the car.....

I think he meant that there is no better way to see gains other than to stroke the engine.

I want a pair but I am still not too sure if I can run them safe without harming the engine
