would it be worth while to look into getting an adjustable cam gear for my car?
Or could it cause problems with running my nitrous(75jet)

i really dont think it would mess anything up? i mean it should, just if you do adjust the cam gear give ur engine time to adjust to its new settings before letting it rip. i dunno what else to tell ya. maybe someone else can give a little more knowledge on this..

It's not worth it...I dyno tuned my VAFC II and AEM cam gear at the same time ...The VAFC II gave me some good gains, but the cam gear didn't affect my HP or torque either way. Please, save your money on something else. If you had an aftermarket cam (which isn't available yet for our cars) it may make a difference

Yeah I have the cam gear, and it didn't do squat, just save your money for better things, or until an aftermarker cam comes out...

No prob!! I think if we had an DOHC engine we might benefit more from cam gear tuning, but we don't Just wait on a new cam to be developed...
