I don't know who made this claim first, or whether the information was just randomly passed along... but the S2000's F20C doesn't even use buckets like the 5SFE does. The S2000 uses rockers and there is ZERO ZERO ZERO chance of ever using it in a Toyota head, cause nearly all Toyota DOHC heads use buckets either with inner shims or over bucket shims.

Anyway... camshafts and tuning is what makes or breaks a good successful n/a tune. Camshafts are NOT a bolt-on and instant power sort of thing... but they can make upwards of 20-50 or more horsepower with good tuning (and an agressive profile). And maikl isn't boosting... he's n/a with a BEAMS redtop... ;]

Fallen: I believe only a few Toyotas were MAP based twords the end of 97. I know the 97+ Camry's are MAF, the 2000 Corollas were changed over to MAF from MAP in the 98-99 models, and the Taco Trucks were MAF... Since the SSIII is a late model addition, I think they are most likely MAF... like the RS200 BEAMS Altezza...
