2AZ-FE Performance Camshafts

**navylife59** · Wed., Mar 26, 2008

Just talked to Dustin at Brian Crower Camshafts. The 2AZ-FE performance camshafts are a mere 2 weeks (possibly) out from being available for testing. No word on price or exact specs yet. According to Dustin, BC has the blank cores and will be built in small batches for forced induction, primarily turbo charged apps. One caveat is that you can have a custom grind easily produced. Yours truly will be looking at having a grind more applicable towards the TRD S/C. My plan is to have it dyno'd on a stock head first then on a built head.

Do you have any idea what size/deg they are?

I was looking for a staggered set up, not sure if they're gonna come in twin set ups or not.

i'll buy em for sure

**Soulbane** · Thu., Mar 27, 2008

I wonder how VVT-I responds to bigger, more aggressive cams.

I know V-TEC respons to them very well.

**ac3 b00gi3** · Thu., Mar 27, 2008

probally more aggressive

educate me please...

are performance cams for F/I only? would it be pointless to put peformance cams in w/o F/I? do you have to do anything else internally when adding cams?

**Soulbane** · Fri., Mar 28, 2008

No, performance cams are not F/I only, but the amount that your vehicle benefits from a cam upgrade has largely to do with the volume of intake/exhaust your engine moves.

You don't need to do anything to the motor internally with camshaft upgrades, you're just replacing the OEM cams.

TBITB, nothing changes, no matter what additional mods come out in the future, they're not going to be as relevant, until you (and me too) get "IT"

Cam upgrades are 100% dead sexy though, with VVT-I it'll be interesting to see how the car responds, you'll also be able to push your redline about 200-250 RPMS.

ha ha i feel you! i understand. they're going on my baller mod list right under the S/C! that's it tho. told myself i wasn't gonna get crazy with "go-fast" mods

**TBITB** · Fri., Mar 28, 2008

hey Soulbane I just had an idea: there are 3463 members on Club-tC (excluding us)... if every member of club-tC gave u and me a dollar apiece, we'd get "IT" in no time!!!

im not sayin

... but im just sayin...

**Soulbane** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

Dude, we should have a "TBITB and Soulbane Pity Fund"

Every member donates a dollar a month until we're boosted or supa'charged.

**TBITB** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

I LIKE

!!

(we're pitiful

) lol

**Soulbane** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

If pitiful is the only requirement for hawt modz, then I'm all for pitiful, lol.

**TBITB** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

LOL! I like the addition to your signature!

**ac3 b00gi3** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

lmao

i would if i could
hahahaha

**bdis3** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

haha Try and set that up guys. But i would LOVE the cams. They would make me cry a little....

**Soulbane** · Mon., Mar 31, 2008

Well, from what Navy posted, these cams are going to be specifically for turbo applications.

So I suspect they're going to be 264 and 272 sized. Which doesn't bother me.

A boosted tC with 272/272 I/E cam profile would really make for some interesting VVT-I.

**bdis3** · Tue., Apr 01, 2008

I hope they make the cams for all the supercharged tC's too. I really hope they do.

**carboncrazytc** · Tue., Apr 01, 2008
