probably some lack of emission equipment or a different ECU programming.

The KF-ZE is a 2.0L V-6 that was used as a repalcement for the KL. Rated at 160 HP+-. Sorry, I cannot add to the cam specs. I was just looking to see if you had a complete list. I would also like the cam specs of all the different cams, but it is going to be hard to get all of them.

Millenia S (KJ 2.3L) doesn't have KLG4 cams. 2.5L Millenias have the KLO1's.

KLG4 cam can be found in 1998-2002 626 V6.

I believe the later motels (KLg4) are cams used with solid lifters. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

I know. That's why I advise people to keep thier exhaust cams when they part out thier K8, but to throw the intake cam straight in the trash.

When I get some time Im going to put my KF on the stand and spec out the cams. I bought everything to spec the duration and lift. I just gotta find the time.

Hey guys i cant remember who told me or where i read this at but i guess someone took there cams out of the ze and got then ground down, like the sides of them.
So i gues it opens and close quicker, and it said it gave the motor an extra 70 hp but i cant beleive that.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever herd of that or and has ground there cams down.
or even if there are aftermarket cams for the ze.

thanks
