Hard to say, but just looking at the specs you posted, they look like Toda knock-offs to me.

Wow, they even use a picture of the toda cams, boxes, and valve springs. I'm thinking they just renamed the Toda part and called it Prime Garage.

"Prime Garage camshafts are sourced from a major Japanese race parts manufacturer and offer high levels of performance and quality."

I copied this from AJ's website. It would seem to me that these are TODA cams renamed Prime Garage cams. Maybe they are the run of cams everyone had problems with Toda had lying around and sold them to Garage Prime. I don't have any paperwork to back this up. I would be wary, especially with the warranty claims not being handled correctly by Toda in some instances. Do a search to find out more about problems with the early Toda cams.

Hehe! I didn't even go to the link w/ the pictures. Those are the Toda cams & valvesprings!

Not a bad price, though... probably because Toda paid to do the R&D and Prime Garage just paid to market the cams under their name, once the R&D was already done.
