A common analogy..............

Tomei is like Nissan

Poncam is like Skyline

256 is like the model of Skyline.

Tomei have other ranges of camshafts than the Poncam range. Poncam in Tomei speak means that the cams work OK with standard valve springs, retainers, collets, valves followers etc. So they are a straight bolt in, remove standard cams insert Poncams.

Other Tomei camshaft models don't, they may need upgraded valve springs, offset followers or maybe different valves. Even though they may have similar camshaft timing and/or lift.

Hope that helps

And they are called Tomei Procam's

I've been meaning to ask, assuming you get the Procam with the same lift/duration as Poncams, what is the benefit? I assume the changes to the valve train etc are to reinforce it for higher RPM applications?

dont think the range overlaps

My net is a little screwy tonight, so the Tomei site is extremely slow. IIRC, there is at least one Procam that is quite close to the B-spec poncams.
