They do make cams. Problem is the cost and they few that have them have had a difficult time tuning for them. For the money it's cheaper to just add boost or upgrade turbo.
There is also a 8,500 RPM hard ignition limit in the computer. So you can't explore 2JZ kind of RPM for that big power.

And also on the cam line, early cams where solid. Just like traditional cams. Later, around mid/late 2008 and after, are hydroformed cams. So it's far harder (maybe impossible) to weld/regrind them to a new profile.

I don't know how the available cams are made. I've never seen anyone post pictures. But I assume they are a solid core traditional cam.
Why can't tuners just remove the ignition cut in the computer? Still on the fence about inlets.... Would it hamper my power curve anywhere? Or does it give gains all across the board? Or in the mid range? Where does it actually increase power?
