Looks like Kelford makes some.

I had kelford cams in my Evo8 and they were great. Wonder how they do in our motors?

I wonder how much the stock ECU can handle for cam changes?
Sub'd! I want to know this too. I'd like stroker experience too.

The area code is Pasadena. I'm really intersted in this too. That's a lot of money to ask for something with no documentation at all about the performance upgrage it might provide. I looked up the Kelford cams web site and they have several different advertised options.
Kelford Cams - 1FZ-FE
No dyno charts though.
I'm at 170k miles and there's a little knock on a cold start-up. I have a new head gasket, but the thing won't last forever. I've been leaning LS, but the 1fz is pretty stout. Part of me wants to keep it all Toyota, but with more hp. Really wish I had gotten an SC before they all went away.
Seems like people are still finding them out there. I recall someone finding one at a Toyota dealer somewhere recently.
What would be the downside of swapping a set of cams?
If it would raise the power by 20-25 HP and the torque by the same amount, it would negate the need and expense that comes with swapping in a 4.7 V8 (See's $25K job).

Wow, $925 for a camset - any other options or more importantly -experience- from any of our buddies Down Under?
I'd see what the Aussie guys have to say if it was me. See if they have any answers.
Also, I'd want to see a dyno sheet - also if this is 2 cams,or just either a intake or exhaust cam.

calling them right now.
what would you like to know?

They have 0 info on these cams. They are just the retailer, no manufacturer provided info, no dyno numbers.
The guy just read off of the website, saying it does not require anything else, as it is a stage 1.

Hahahaha, thanks - my phone is a lowly ~4-5" screen, and my thumbs/keyboard take 1/3 of that.
Well played

The font came out like that as in copy and paste.
It is around $950 for both intake and exhaust, they appear to be very nice cams, I have a set sitting on my shelf. Evasive is a great company, I buy a lot of all my parts from them or Titan for engine internals. They are just resellers but they are prompt, easy to deal with and will get just about anything you need.
I asked if they also install them, but Evasive was being evasive. They say they charge $125/hr of labor plus gaskets and other things.
After the install, is it better to run higher octane gasoline?

I am sure they could do it, but they likely wouldn't want to mess with it since like most shops they have a specific bread and butter. With cams you really should pull the head and do valves, etc when you do them. You don't have to you could shim them in place, just easier out of the truck.
You shouldn't have to change octanes.
