trust us dee, they are HKS!
They don't look like HKS cams to me. I own HKS, JUN, and Tomei camshafts and neither one of those companies make cams with rough casting like that. Even when my cam grinder does camshafts, they don't come back looking that rough. Though you don't have to trust me, those are not HKS cams. And besides, only one of those companies stamp four numbers ending with a letter and that company is "TOMEI". That could've been done with a sketching tool or anything. I say post up pics of your findings 'Kaforlife'. Your camshaft could be a Tomei Poncam, but the photo sure as hell makes it look stock. But it sure as hell ain't no HKS component and again, you don't have to trust me.
And ks13, after 12 years of playing with this particular motor my friend, I should know better. And if you knew about what you've invested in, you too would know that none of the larger tuner companies sell camshafts with rough castings because they are all made from billet blanks. And besides, like "meminto's" proof indicates, HKS happily stamps their billets with those 3 proud and expensive initials "HKS" . Though his photos are good, they still gave the camshaft a rough/stock appearance. And unless he removed the cam plug, he would've never known either.
We all are wrong! If those are the #s kaforlife seen on his camshaft ends, then those are Tomei Poncams: 256s with an 8.5mm lift. And you can trust me on this "ks13" .
