I am not qualified to comment on the "school of thought" Downey has, but it sounded good to me at the time when I ordered the cam. Another factor was that their cams were a little less expensive than Man-a-Fre's.
Downey's service left a little to be desired. There is another note on the Downey site about better valve springs needed to go along with the cam. I called them, took the salesmans's advice and went ahead and ordered them. In the end, Downey was unable to provide the valve springs and also unable to get the distributor stuff I needed. I had to call them to find this out. They never called me to let me know the order was on hold or back ordered. It all slowed the engine rebuild and pissed me off in general. I ended up ordering valve springs from Man-a-Fre.
Anyway, I got the cam and I hope it does what they say.

They say that "the stock Landcruiser duration is ridiculously too long", and theyve "shortened it for increased performance and radically reduced emmissions."
What's the school of thought as to why they would believe this? |
