Adjustable cam gears with stock camshafts

[Justin]

For those that fitted em. Just retarding/advancing inlet and exhaust valve overlap. Did it increase power/speed at low revs?

 

Any detrimental effects? Or is it a win/win upgrade?

 

Cheers

[Justin]

Nobody?

 

The reason I ask is because I have a very good book that says it may be possible to get 5% more power out of a stock twin cam setup by adjusting the inlet and exhaust cam sprockets by a few degrees.

 

If it is a cheap power upgrade with minimal downside then people here should know about it.

 

I presume there are no comments from learned tuner pepes because it is BS?

I am sure Chris Wilson made some comments about this some time back. I may be wrong but I don't think he gave the answer you will be hoping for.

Well most people with who get cam gears just seem to leave them at the standard settings as that seems to be the best compromise on the Supra. As far as I know anyway. You might get more power but at the expense of torque, or something like that.

Heheheh.........You guys are to funny:)

 

 

Its such a low gain in power so i would stay on stock camgears.Bu then again,if you aiming on say 600-900hk with killer cams then i would defenetley go with adjust camgears sins you want the maximum power gain.

Thanks for the comments Xantim.
