    They are a bit of a pain on your scion, be careful with the vvt actuator or you'll bend the locking pin and throw cam retardation codes for days.

    To be honest with you the cams are a waste of money. I have a few buddies making 300-400whp on the 2az with stock cams and stock head. There are better things that you can spend your money and time on instead of cams. If you have the money for cams you should just buy a better turbo and manifold

    Ya they have the bottom ends built, carrillo rods and cp pistons other than that the blocks are stock. Both of them are running custom kits and running the GTK550 turbo.
