I am building a 5vz-fe for a UK car that will be pushing upto 25psi and 7500rpm...
You can go high...its all a matter of tuning. He is using a hydra to control it all and the UK distributor to tune it so they know what they are doing.
Of course you need the rods as well if you want to hit those numbers safely.
Cam gears....why? It gets complicated with that internal sync gear and wont lead to the gains you are hoping for HOWEVER.....read on :P
Why no regrinds? Once i get either my chassis or engine dyno in shop i will be testing out different type of regrinds WITH camshaft advance/retard built in...of course they are not adjustable BUT why adjust when its set perfectly anyway? But then again you are not looking for regrinds so I hope you can find a place that will offer TRUE billets with the strength of OEM casting with the duration/lift you are looking for WHILE paying less then $1000 for them :P Trust me man i looked and the $$$ were way to high that i could not risk dumping all my R&D money into them just to have a few people pick them up when regrinds does the same thing (given you need to upgrade valves on the more aggressive ones)
Turbo Manifolds and Exhausts are all in the works, i currently have a 1mz header design i am looking at replicating for resale but that will be a few months from now as well.
One Piece cams? Come again?
And what is ETC :P
