The marks on the AEM cam gears are not in the right position for our cars. They are correct for neons. You have to compare them to the stock cam gears and carefully (and accurately) re-mark the AEM gears.

Of course, you can adjust the cam gears to compensate, but that's if you know how many degrees off the marks are and in what direction they are off. I don't have that answer, and I doubt you'll find it, since most people re-mark the AEM cam gears when tey're off teh car, then install them.

Yes, one degree at the camshaft (on the gear) is two (2) degrees at the crankshaft. So if you move the cam gear one mark, that' 2 degrees at the crank.

>that sounds right, but clear me up with all this....

It is correct, because the crankshaft turns twice as quickly as the cam gears. The cam gears have to be at this exact ratio as they compare to the crankshaft, or the valve train wouldn't work properly.

+8 degrees advance on the intake cam, 0 degrees on the exhaust cam (assuming your cam gears are marked properly and timed properly in the first place)
