82133, Crower 2's degree question
Posted by powellds, Oct-23-04 01:06 AM
Ok, I havn't gotten a really clear answer as to what I need to set the crower stage 2 cams at on my cam gears. I have adjustable one's so what to I set them at?

Go to a Dyno and try different settings till you get the most power out of them.

I'd start with advancing the intake cam, then retard the exhaust cam in .5 degree increments at the cam (remember 1 degree at the cam is 2 degrees at the crank)

Without doing it on a dyno though you will have a hard time finding that sweet spot and advancing it even 1 degree can pass it up and loose you the power you almost had.

Does anyone have Crower 2's? I just need a nice solid estimate to where to adjust the cams to where it will run good until I dyno it. Thanks for the help so far though.

Okay. Zero and Zero. That was easy.

Well I know zero would run fine, but what could I set them at to make a little more HP out of them until I go dyno it?

Any answer to this question is speculation and may be wrong on your setup. There is no magic number of degrees adjustment that is going to make more power on every car every time. You're asking a question that can't really be answered accurately.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's.

ok, guessing time

Advance the intake cam a few degrees, you might get a few more hp and torque from that. In general it SEEMS tow work, but your results may vary.

Hey, any input helps me out, I just want to see what everyone else has done with them and I can kinda have a guess of where I need to go on adjusting them. Thanks guys.
