haha, if his valves bent from stay open due to a completely cracked cam he'd noticed and would have changed it. I didnt even read anything but the last page and got that.

? I didn't know the cams chipped. I thought maybe they snapped in half or something. Sorry i don't have time to read through 18 pages of this thread.
Anyway... I stuck the stock camshafts back in tonight and plan to hit the dyno soon, just to see which way my numbers go with the stock cams. If the numbers go up, then I'll know for certain that the camshafts are the problem... if the numbers go down, then I'll know there is something much more sinister at work.

My Toda experience in the early part of this year.
I have the "later Toda cams" ie (not the blackened ones) the install went all ok and installed them with the Toda valve springs, Alaniz retainers, FPR, Erick

I agree that these cams may not produce power mixed with certain part applications but with the set up I have it most definitely made a "Big" difference low to mid range.

Almost everyone that has installed their cams are pretty familiar around cars.... we are not punk ass kids that have alot of our parents money but rather people that do this because we like it.....

Although the vehicle has not been on a dyno I immediately felt that the low to mid range power was extremely evident far more so than with just the Mugen parts that were already fitted that I had previously noted.
Until you show me a before & after dyno, I'll have to take your claims w/ a grain of salt. And even if you are making power... that still doesn't help me determine why my cams are not making power.

MTX_77,
As you had mentioned, I would seriously swap the stock cams back in ...... have you dropped you oild pan to check if the metal shaving ended up there?

I'm on the same wavelength.... the stock cams went back in last night, and I hope to hit the dyno again this weekend.
As for the oil pan... I have no intention of dropping it any time soon. It might be a worthy safety measure, but I'm too lazy and hoping that if there are any shavings remaining, they'll get picked up by the filter.
