dialing adjustable cam gears

[Super_Dude]

Like gtrdad said, a lot of things can change cam timing. You need to use your cam gears and find the actual lobe centers and from there you can adjust them on the dyno.

There is no way of telling the amount of power to gained by doing this because they can be way out to lunch or almost perfect.

Mine were dialed at +4 intake -1 exhaust and it made considerably more power under the curve. Im not saying these are right for anyone else, you have to find what works for your setup. Im just giving am example.

As has been already stated, EVERY engine is different and a multitude of things will make your cam timing way off even though they are set to zero on the cam gears. You should set the centerlines to spec and then play with it from there to get the power delievery you want.

Theres a great article in the most recent modified magazine showing in detail step by step how to degree cam'w with the engine in the car. They actually printed off a degree wheel and scaled it to size to use for there application. They go into detail about the importance of this and how to do it yourself with only a few simple and inexpensive tools.
