Default Finding F20C cam blanks

Does anyone know who makes the stock F20C cams and whether or not in general Honda cam blanks are available? I'd definitely rather grind hipo cams from blanks than regrind the stock ones.

Toda cams seem dead in the water at the moment.

Suggestions?

Toda has stated recently (at SEMA for one) that they don't have any priority on S2000 stuff right now. On the Honda front they're really working on the K-motors. I can understand this, since the K will sell in higher volumes, but not that high right now, and there are plenty of F20C's around.

In terms of cam blanks, that's a tough one. I have talked to a couple of companies that are looking at doing their own billet stuff. Basically get the right steel, gun drill it and grind it, then make sure your surface hardness matches Honda's. Profiles aren't too hard since you can start with the stock ones and just add a little lift and duration for a street cam. Can't get too radical a change since you're retaining the stock followe system.

I sent Toda an email last night.

Does not sound to promising at all.
