adjustable cam gear

[cleanjdm]

ive seen several of these adustable cam gears on ebay, and i was wondering if they would have any significant performance? are they even hard to install?

[jacobuchanan140]

i think you adjust them one way for more top end/less bottom end and the other way for less top end/more bottom end power that is

as for install i think itd be pretty simple

[cleanjdm]

sounds good, so if i adjust it to have more acceleration, would my top end decrease, i mean my engine is stock, all i habve is an intake, 4-2-1 dc header and full custom 2.5 icnh exhast. and besides, i still have the stock govenor, so the car stops at 115.

[jacobuchanan140]

if i understand all ive read on them then yes one way goes up the other goes down

[bluecb7]

It advances and retards the timing. Jacobchanan140 got part of it, in addition to what he said, in high performance engines, it also prevents predetenation. But from what I understand, they're kind of like aftermarket ignition coils, in that the more you have done to your engine the more noticeable their effects are.

i knew i was on part of it
any advice for him on the install?

Actully Don't Even Watse Your Money Unless U Want Them Strictly For Looks And Weight.........everything U Can Do With Them U Can Do The Same Thing By Just Clocking The Whole Distributor And Looking Down Through The Little Hole Covered Up By The Black Stopper Thingy.......of Course Let Someone Who Knows What They R Doing Do That For U

Not Sure About The F

They arent hard to install, but unless you have some nice cams to go with them they are completely useless IMO

So

So his orignal question was were those cams any good from ebay, I am wondering if they are any good too. I am looking at turbo charging my car a possibly going with the 272 delta regrind. Not to sure if this is going off topic but would love to know about those cams. and if there is a difference from AEM cams.
