Ok, first off what cam gear do you guys recommend? Ive been told unorthodox, but i was looking at AEM or HKS. What do you guys think? and also, I was thinking about getting a pully set, but I read somewhere that if you have FI its bad for your engine? anyone know about that?
Thanks
Thanks

if you're gonna get pulleys just get lightweight pulleys, don't get underdrive. All underdrive does is reduce the speed that your accessories spin at to reduce parasitic drag on the crank through the serpentine system, thus giving you a couple extra ponies. I dont trust it because that means your water pump, a/c compressor, alternator, and all that stuff isn't making the output it should. However, lightened pulleys will reduce the drag but not underdrive all your accessories, so you get the best of both worlds.
as far as cam gear, I would go HKS, a lot of guys here and on the supras have had excellent luck with them. If you cant get your hands on that, I'm pretty sure unorthodox is decent quality stuff. AEM will do the trick but personally i'd rather stick to AEM for what theyre known for, intakes and electronics.

personally i'd avoid OBX, i mean you get what you pay for. And especially on such a critical part (that thing fails your VVTi and valvetrain as a whole will get effed up)

Yes you're right. The pullies I have for sale are for the 2JZ. The power steering and alternator pulley will work on the 2jz-ge, but the water pump pulley is specific to the GTE.
