... And now I'm trying to figure out how to tune it all. I know that ideally, I would do all my tuning on a dyno, but let's face it, I'm not rich! Especially after springing for the cams and gears!
Anyways, just looking for a few pointers out there from anyone who has adjustable cam gears... The general rule for NA engines has been to advance the intake cam and retard the exhaust cam, right? I had always assumed that rotating a cam clockwise compared to the alignment notch was advancing it, and that rotating it counterclockwise retarded it. But, now that I'm looking at the rotation of the gears as well as the markings on them, it's looking like just the opposite. I'm lost!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
As for the performance afterwards, I have to say that I'm somewhat let down. As it stands right now, I've lost a ton of torque, and not picked up enough HP to make me happy with that. The extra HP isn't really apparent before 4500 rpm or so, and I'm usually at that rpm range for such a short duration that it's hardly worth it.
