NA cams in a 7mgTe?

So if you are pretty much stock, then you will probably notice a nice increase, if you are looking for a reliable high horse power build stay away. Also make sure the cams are in good shape or you might risk jacking your valves as well as you guides, that could get pricey...

Thank you very much this is exactly what I was looking for.
It makes sence that the 7mgte and 7mge cams wont hold up to the abuse that an after market cam built specifically for race applacations would.

I was just looking for some thing cheap and easy I could bolt in while doing my head gasket and this looks like just the thing...


Now that the question has been answered, and there is some totaly mindless off-topic banter that adds nothing to the topic....
