Toda Racing ‘MATSU’ spec Camshafts – EX Ferrari 360 Modena

ODA Racing was established in 1970 in Okayama Japan as a maintenance company for racing vehicles and engines. Since its inception, company activities have grown to include manufacturing and development of racing engines for various forms of Japanese motorsports, ranging from Formula 3 to GT300. The experience gained in the realm of professional motorsports is applied to all TODA Racing products available to consumers.
With over 30 years of experience, TODA Racing has grown to become one of Japan’s premiere race engineering and manufacturing companies. TODA’s team of experienced racing engineers use the latest product design, manufacturing, and testing equipment available like the IBM CATIA CAD/CAM/CAT system.

TODA Racing uses the latest design and manufacturing equipment to produce TODA products. All product design is carried out using the IBM CATIA (CAD/CAM/CAE) which is the same system used by Honda, Boeing, Ferrari, and other high technology manufacturers.

All TODA products are manufactured in-house by TODA. Having an in-house manufacturing capability means there are no compromises in design or manufacturing. Product testing is carried using advanced analytical software, engine bench testing (engine dyno), and race testing.

ODA products can be ordered from ‘Torque Developments International PLC’ by phone, fax or email via the details listed below. We are hoping to have a shopping cart system in place in the near future as we realise this will make ordering easier. However, many of our customers wish to speak regarding technical information before ordering and this is invariably easier via telephone than any other means so it can be beneficial to call us. Alternatively you can buy via one of our authorised dealers.

he key parts of any camshaft are the lobes. As the camshaft spins, the lobes open and close the intake and exhaust valves in time with the motion of the piston. It turns out that there is a direct relationship between the shape of the cam lobes and the way the engine performs in different speed ranges.

To understand why this is the case, imagine that we are running an engine extremely slowly — at just 10 or 20 revolutions per minute (RPM) — so that it takes the piston a couple of seconds to complete a cycle. It would be impossible to actually run a normal engine this slowly, but let’s imagine that we could. At this slow speed, we would want cam lobes shaped so that:
