what color for cam gears.

[Aproductions]

alright so I am looking into getting a gates timing belt after my build is done.

anyways since I will have cams, I wanna get cam gears too.

which color do you think would look best.

Chrome, red, black.


these are some ideas.

my car is the 2nd picture.

and again these are just ideas to help you think how it would look/

Are you going to actually use the cam gears and degree them or are you just getting them for looks?

If for looks, I'd say it's a waste of your money. But if you really want them, I vote chrome.


Please learn where the shift key is on your keyboard and use it. I know you found it once since you capitalized the "C" in chrome.

Well I am getting cams so I want to get the gears too. I would have a dyno place tune my car....I thought degreeing cams was when you just advance or retard them.

Check out the link I posted for how to properly do it. It's more than just turn them one way or the other. Yes, you can do it a not-so-proper way using a dyno and comparing one pull to the next, but that could get expensive and just be very time consuming.

If I just keep them how they come, would that be like how my stock gears are? It wouldn't hurt anything.

Correct. You just won't be getting everything out of your cams that you could be.

 

[Aproductions]

yeah but then when I get more money I could just get them degreed, or just do trial and error until it is right.

chrome. unless it peels easily

Any of those three colors would look good under your hood. Just pick which one you like best. You can't go wrong.

Chrome adds the most horsepower!

Given that mostly everything in your bay is red, keep it up and get them red, although chrome would look sick too
