Adjusting the Cam Gears...

[garage16]

Alright so let me get this right as Im sure we got a few guys on here with adjustable cam gears...

For the people who have adjustable cam gears, do you just leave them on "0 deg" or do you adjust them for more power?

When should cam gears be adjusted?
- On the Dyno starting from 0deg?
- Or when the long block is all put together and adjust from there then fine tune it on dyno?

Reason im asking ### ill be running HUGE cams for next year and wanted to adjust the cam gears and not just leave them on 0 for show

The consensus on this site is to set the gears on a dyno. See http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tun...table-cam-gears-what-your-setting-advise.html for a recent thread on the topic.

You can do it either on the dyno or when putting the engine together. If doing it while putting the engine together, you'll have to get a cam degreeing kit, which you can find info about by searching either here or Google.

Hey I am running a 420a fully built motor with AEM cam gears. A friend was telling me the best way to adjust them is to advance the intake an retard the exhaust. Is this true?
