This has been covered numerous times..

stock engine, stock intake manifold, stock cam and, no headwork. The best setting is stock 0 degrees until you do one or more of these things then leave it a zero.

With no other head work and no other forced induction just some bolt one and leaving the setting at 0 did you even feel anygains or is there any i thought the only gains you got out of a cam gear was with some other work done (mainly head work) and retarding the timing a little is when you get gains . i could be wrong am i ?

move the power band down, 2 degrees retarded is the average setting. the cam is lighter than OEM

What would you retard to if you have header, straight pipe, intake,
pulley.... because i am planning on to pick up one...

i would love to know what setting top put it at aswell i have i/h/e and crank pulley ?

hey guys, i think you really need a dyno to properly tune cam gears to find out what setting is right for your specific car. every car is different.

that member is correct

different cars have different motors, operating in different tempature, and conditions. one setting doesn't work for all. nothing works that way in a car anymore

thanks guys for the input very helpful

woo hoo!! im right! oh yeah...

no need for name calling now....

its a legitimate question

I just read the whole post, he didnt call any one names, hes talking about retarding the cam gear, after replying to your last post, maybe you are the one thats retarded....

something tells me it was a joke. lease:
