Re: Cutting cams
My opinion is to leave it standard. As far as I understand, it might improve performance in the higher rev range but negatively affect the lower end power. 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Cutting cams
You get a lot better performance and drivabillity with cams on a v6 ford, they work even better if used with high compression pistons (there are three ratios avaiable)
My favourite 4x4 grind is the 272/276 split duration, gas flowing makes little difference, you can get by with smoothing the ports only
