Good morning everyone I got a question and I need some honest answers I have a 420a almost forged completely but the cams are not. Last week I was driving my car and it shut off while driving and when I check it was the cams that broke in two pieces. My question is what cams I can use for a stock ecu stage 1 or stage 2 cams ?
 
Aftermarket cams are also cast just like the OEM cams. Unless you get Crane which aren't produced anymore. I have never seen a broken 420A camshaft. I'm curious what caused that.

The camshaft seems heavily scored. What was your oil pressure prior to this? You also need to inspect and measure the the cam journals in the cylinder head. It may be time for replacement.
