xbgod was the one who said the JUN 272 cams were a waste since they cost like $1600. no vavle springs or gears. i read that on a yaris forum

This may be a stupid question, but will the computer control of the cam timing try to override any camshaft modifications?

If it's a higher lift cam then the valves will open more no matter what the ECU does.
