I have a set of GenIII cams out of a 3sge manual trans.
In:252 degree, 9.8mm lift, 7/65 timing
Ex:240 degree, 8.2mm lift, 53/7 timing.
 
PM me if your interested

I will keep it in mind Jason,

And tassie I will do if I decide to chuck gen 3 cams in
Thank you!

the advice to use stock gen 3 cams in a gen2 head, is not 100% sound. these later cams have different acceleration profile and need the larger diameter bucket if they are to be long-lasting. Therefore, such a change needs to go with gen 3 shim under or shimless buckets
 
the main reason to install longer duration/higher lift cams is to move the torque point upwards which means higher revs are needed to amke the extra power. rarely, if ever, do factory springs work with modified cams. You should always buy a spring suited to the cams

interesting, i didn't think the std gen3 cams would be that aggressive compared to aftermarket items of similay lift but longer duration that are advertised for the gen2 head.
 
are the gen3 ge valve springs different to gen3 gte or gen2 ge springs? much of an upgrade?

We supply GSC, Brian Crower and HKS cams and springs for the application you need. PM if you want some pricing.

just_Ace, from the look of it. Springs are the same between Gen 3 3sgte and Gen 3 3SGE. I'm curious to know if swapping the intake cam from the Gen3 3SGE -> Gen 3 3SGTE will make much difference. I've read you don't swap in the exhaust cam as it causes too much overlap and creates too much heat. Do you need to degree the cam if doing this, or can you just plug and play for some gain on a standard ECU.

every component changed Gen2 to Gen3. Gen 2 springs are different GE to GTE, but in Gen 3, the springs were the same
 
if you dont want to change the ECU, you will never get the real benefit of modified cams. The factory ECU cannot 'learn" its ignition map is locked

I have a set of HKS 272 cams and heavy duty springs for sale
