I do have a single turbo, Walbro 255lph, MKIV 550cc, DM fuel pressure regulator, AEM ems & more supporting mods, I need experts to help me & not people that just read it somewhere... I do have a fully built head but thats for a Built motor for next year.. Good or bad idea to installed them now & get it tuned...

I used my Crower 272 small core cams in my 1jz for over a year with no problems at all. I've heard from others that had the large core that you need to upgrade the springs and retainers. I did upgrade this time once I went with the 2jz block, but I don't know that I had too. Again, I went over a year with stock springs and retainers. Good luck and hope this help'd a little.

You can pm Zazzn. He know more about the cams than I do, but I do remember someone saying that the small core cams were about the size of the 264's. That's probably not what you wanted to hear, but maybe you could sell the ones you have and buy a set from Eric. Good luck.

yea, the 'small core' cams that zazzan had made are really 264 cams. They're pretty mild on the lift so the work with the stock springs no problems (I wouldn't go above 7600-7800 rpm though)
