Some engines have nominal 300 degree cams. Do you really think these cams close right after BDC? Hint, they close LATER than a 1NZ-FXE.

This is why I'm getting my 1ZZ-FE intake cam reground for higher duration: Improved efficiency AND improved peak power.

What I suspect with the 1nzfxe is that the way this intake cam is degreed, you get less scavenging than you otherwise could.

I wonder if the 1zrfxe intake cam would fit the 1zz?
