I'll look some more. I read this whole thread and didn't see them. One post had specs, but i wasn't sure if they were stock or the Todas.

After reading this thread, there seems to be little reason to run out and buy these cams. At best, there is still a lot of development work to do. I wish all of you that purchased these cams the best of luck. Personally, i think it is wrong that the owners have to figure out how (or if) these cams will make more power. I don't really care what Todas reputation is. They should not only have designed the cams, but done all the testing and listed whatever additional components are necessary to make power. I'll spare you all a disertation on cam theory. Lets just say at some point you can't get any more people into a room by opening the door wider. Sounds like Honda did a pretty good job at the factory.

Now, if any of you want to rev to 12,000...

Is there any chance the lack of power is due to Toda making the cams for the JDM F20C, which has a diffrent headgasket or pistons to raise compression and ECU?

I agree. .7 points of less compression most likely will not result in 10 hp loss.

More compression helps. And we certainly need to tune for the cams. Wicky's car had no provisions for tuning fuel or timing, so no adjustments could be made. I believe there's another 4-5 hp in it since it was running _richer_ after the cams. There is plenty of power left in this engine, just have to pull it out
