Reply With QuoteCam timing is set up at 10 and 2 the plugs are a little to the lean side if anything the tips are white but only just and it is sometimes a pain to start when cold needs a little throttle to fire
he has set the cams at 10 and 2

Yeah ok that makes sence im running 98 pump fuel nothing else and mostly caltex. Ive replaced fuel filters ect too.
FYI. Toda racing 264 camshaft timing recommendation as follows.
Intake =105 degrees
Exhaust 108-110 degrees.
If you like I can photograph the cam cards for you tomorrow and email them. Pm me if you are interested.
Also, if you are keen on a black top conversion with garage annex water kit, pm me. Cheers

Cam timing can make a lot of difference and the only way to set it up correctly is on the dyno
Assuming it was tuned on a rolling road you could also look at peripheral stuff like binding brakes and tight differential bearings.
What sort of manifold adapts the blacktop throttles to the 16v head? Maybe it has a poor design?
whats "10" and "2"
i only know setting up via lobe centers and LSA. as slimer said with "108" "105"
110 being about standard.
10 & 2 are probably marks on the timing pully's so he has NFI where they are actually dialled in
Toyota specify maximum lift at X degrees. There is a procedure to follow how to do it correctly.
A lot of cam manufactures say at x ammount of lift ( usually 50 thou ) should be x degrees, don't use this method as you dont know the cam lobe profile.

Also, I recommend taking off the front cam pulley cover and posting a photo. Also, pull off your rocker covers and using an extended mirror (get from repco etc) you should be able to read the cam lift and duration on the far end of the cam shafts closest to the fire wall. Post up this information.

1. Make sure cam timing is not out by a tooth.
2.Dial in the cams properly.
3. Make sure the timing is set correctly with the cams dialed in.
4. Re tune.
However 115hp at the wheels is a healthy figure for a stock 4age with mild cams. But your car sounds like it it feels 'flat' definatly sounds like a timing issue.
