Tomei Cams . . ???

are ALL Tomei cams stamped with the logo,

as in if i was to take off the rocker cover would i be able to tell they were tomei easily?

Also,

Would having Aftermarket cams and a lightened flywheel in a car make it idle a bit off if it wasnt mapped for the cams,

im not very up on cams and that at all, :rolleyes:

Meant to post the reply in the first post . . . IGNORE

bump ne1?

Im not sure if tomei is stamped on the cams, but its pointless fitting cams to an engine if you dont map the car for them as it wont give you any extra power.. It could possibly give you less power and strain your engine.

nice one christy, in your experiance would the car idle funny if they were just fitted with no mapping!

aftermarket cams need to be set up right and mapped for sure...

They might idle funny depending on the size of them but the engine more than likely would idle funny all the time not just intermittently.compression test it and you'll find answers I reckon

NO...Most Tomie cams do not have a Tomie stamp on them...You need to measure them most of the time to distinguish
