Try talking to Wade camshafts - I've talked to them a few times and they're generally pretty helpful, and reasonably priced too.

I have a setup of cams that are for a 4AGE. they are 248@0.050" and 0.304" lift which according to 'engine anlyser pro 2' they should be around 304 degree duration. (42 - 82 cam)
Make me an offer and I may sell them.

With the cams you have will it require an aftermarket ECU for tuning? Currently have a stock AE92 Seca SX and looking to upgrade the cams. Let me know what ur looking to get for the cams. Have the cams been used and how much gain have u got from the new cam setup.

they have been used and yes they will make a great deal of differance to your car if you put themin right.
my friend has the same sized cams as me in his GZE running with a factory computer. Its a pain down low in the revs but we just have to sort out a better fuel map.

King16,
For what it's worth, if you're going to keep the standard ECU.
The following TODA camshafts will suit your application.
264deg intake - 7.9mm lift
256deg exhaust - 7.9mm lift
For best results, you should consider a pair of vernier adjustable cam pulleys also.
Using these parts, you can realistically expect to gain 7 to 10 hp at the wheels.
Cheers

Yes, standard ECU. I did upgrade to 250cc injectors though. Good mid-high end power.

FWIW the WEB grind #294 has a full duration of 244 Degrees and lift is 8.2 mm, so they are only a relatevily mild cam and will defineately work with factory ecu.

For all these aftermarket cams do you actually loose power down low and gain power up high? Are there cams which give u power gains throughout the entire power band. Sure high end power is good for traffic light wars but if u want to be a little quicker through traffic and corners wouldn't it be better to get cams which improve lower to mid range power?
Do such cams exist??

Sure they exist, if you want power through out the rev range probably go for probably 288 deg intake cam and 272 deg exhaust cam will give you a wider power band. But you still sacrafice a little bottom end and some top end so you have to do some research as to what power band you want.

Wow those cams are small you might as well not both.. or just get early model bigport cams (MR2 NA) which have 240 degree cams. 0.295" lift.
I would like to fit them if I was going to sell them but if you really want them they are $400 I would part with them for..
see if you put different cams in you MUST check your shim to cam clearances and get new shim. I can get hold of A/M shims for cost price (still expensive). I can dial them in for the person that wants them.
As for the stock computer it can be done you dont need a after market computer. though the MAP sensor may not like it cause cams give you low manifold pressure. Though it should still work just as well.. to break the rumours you CAN have low end and mid range with cams. I had all the power I needed at 3000 ish RPM and 170hp @ 8000RPM max. with these cams in. This was in a stock 100kw motor.
If you are interested in buying them I can put them in for you and dial them up for the cost of the shim. (IF NEEDED) (I bought 14 shims for about $80 a month ago)
