Brought the car to the shop today and gave them all of the info. that i have gatherd from you guys. We'll see what happens, if they cant get things straight i'll have to put the stock ones back in. I don't think it's the gears though!? Thanks again for the input's.

About $120 to install the cam gears, it's a prety long process.

Well i got the car back from the shop today. The gears were both off by a 1/2 a tooth. The dude at the shop re-etched the centerline markings to mack that of the stock cam gears. The car runs great now!

good to hear that the car is good now... did you get a chance to re-dyno it? considering that the car wasnt running properly the first time you did it.. just curious to see more numbers.

what kind of shop did you take it to, cuz if I could get a place to replace my timing belt for that much I would be too happy.
