**** me man, confirmed they don't fit. I appreciate you giving me the heads up before I rip this **** apart and it doesn't work. Looks like I'll have to find some sort of supercharger instead.

That's really disappointing. I thought somebody had actually found cams that would work!

That sucks man, but those TTC cams should work, but were 300 or 400 more. can you send the kelfords back and get a credit towards the TTC cams?

Nah, they just weld up and modify stock cams. Pretty disappointing honestly. I don't have the time to remove my cams, send them in to be done, wait for them etc. I'll just invest in a Supercharger or something down the line I guess. This build just started and is getting pretty demotivational...
Wishing I just bought an Aristo engine to swap into it...

Just get the supercharger man, I wouldn't worry to much about cams. How much power you looking to make ?

I'll be fine with around 400whp which should be what an S/C could get me up to
I just wanted cams to get maximum power and stay N/A, but oh well

Well if they sent you the wrong ones then aren't you able to send them back and have a new set created? ...maybe I missed something...?

In order for them to create a new set I have to send in mine
It could take a long *** time so I'm going to get cams out of a junkyard or something and send those so I'm not without my GS for a long time
It'll come later down the line

I gutted my cats over the weekend. It's like Toyota put a bunch of razor blades into a blender and put the product into the catalytic converter. No wonder these things last forever. I had to borrow an expensive *** Bosch drill with chisel bits to gut them and even that was a PITA.
Kaaz DAT3020 2 Way LSD on it's way Monday
Picking up the brand new, never used transmission from Lextreme Tuesday
The parts stash is getting big, about to do the build. I've decided I'll send heads & block to machine shop as I want this rebuild to last.

Here's a little bit of the exhaust. Had to do the in car with windows up and the sound insulation masked most of the noise, it's loud as hell but flows good so I'm happy. Can't wait to get the headers on as well

Yeah slightly when you get on it you can feel it flows a lot better. Whether you're actually going to go faster is beyond me lol, but it feels like it.
One of my cats were making a nasty noise so I figured I'd just punch them out anyway lol
