the truck i bought has some type of RV cam in it that was installed by the previous owner when he had the engine rebuilt. It seems to run very good with alot more bottom end power than several of my buddies 22re motors. I'm currently out of town but when I get home tomorrow night I'll look through the receipts and see if I can find the Brand and specs for you

Check www.lcengineering.com they have a lot of differant cams. Thats where i got my cam from dont remember the exact specs on it but its the offset cam for the 22re they run around 160 if i remember correctly. From what i have done to my truck the best upgrade was the putney's preformance head www.22repreformace.com, the second would be the header and 3in exh, then supra afm swap, then the cam, and last the throttle body spacer. I would try and get the intake and exh opened up before going with a cam. Thats my opioin on it
