For the 22s in a 4x4…
I’ve posted my thoughts on two of the most discussed topics on several popular Toyota 4x4 sites.
First, the claims made by various aftermarket suppliers are rarely, if ever, backed up by reasonable proof that I can see.
Has anyone seen or can provide a certified dyno test comparing several highly touted camshafts with a Toyota 20/22 stock camshaft?
Over the past 20 years or so, it’s interesting to me how times I have read about someone hacking up an air intake box, or for this particular topic, selling a new camshaft profile that increases the “power” in a factory stock engine…. which by the way, arguably have been engineered by the most brilliant automotive minds on the planet - in the most technologically advanced “work shop” anyone could imagine.
I’m not saying that any of the aftermarket camshafts being offered do NOT perform as claimed, I’d just like to see some proof.
I’m also not saying that a backyard mechanic who modified something doesn’t work. Obviously there have been many performance gains discovered by those who experiment….. I’d just like to see more than anecdotal evidence.
I have asked for test data during my recent rebuild and conversations with several suppliers, but they either will not or cannot provide it to me.
That's just my opinion - it may be worthless.
Gnarls.
