There are no aftermarket cams for the 3vz, But there was someone on here who was doing a regrind but I am not sure if they are still doing it.
I have lost track with the thread on this.

There was really never enough demand for a performance cam or any after market cam for this engine.

Those cams require a lot of head and valve work, Waste of money unless you have a load of cash to burn.
To really get more out of it you need the intakes extruded and the 7M AFM.
