Ok so I’m looking to drop a cam into my 87 4runner(22re). what are the ****** for the low end power?
Something like: SPECS: 261° duration, 212° @ .050 lobe lift

Or: .431 lift, 220 int, and 220 ex

Maybe: 270° duration, 219° @ .050 lobe lift, .430" gross valve lift, 110° centerline

So I’m new to all of the cam stuff. I don't plan on making this a street racer cause I know that 22re's don't work like that. I just want some more low-end power to help push my tires. I'm looking for the power band to start as soon as it can and maybe drop off about 4200-5000 give or take a little on each end. Please don't give me hell about gears cause there coming when I buy the cam. I know that I will have to replace the rocker arms but what else. The motor has 176000 miles on it. I know that some of you say that that is way to many miles to put a cam in but the engine was babied ( the hole truck was hell the body mount bushings are in sweet shape :flipoff2: ) and I replaced the timing chain, guards, and gears along with rebuilding the top have of the engine around 150,000 miles.
Any help will be sweet.
Thanks, 4runningHank

Ted's got two cams now. They make similar power, but his new one is a little lower on the rpm. I've got gears and a doubler, so I went with the 270 for the highway.
