what have you guys found to be the best settings on these gears? anyone dyno test them? i am just curious. i would like to dyno it, but right now i am looking for a little guidence. i have the following mods:

aem cam gears
aem cold air intake
ported+polished intake and throttle body
bosal header+ downpipe
accel 8.8mm wires
aftermarket muffler
and looking to get a underdrive pulley soon!! any help is appreciated!!

thanks!!

anyone ever thought of a drive-thru parts store? that would be cool!

you will want to search this one out.
there are some really interesting threads on the subject (and even more opinions)

Really I think it depends on the car. It seems that all of our cars require unique settings for each car.

THAT is not f**king THAT!
THIS is f**king THIS!

yeah i am trying to search as much as i can on it... i even went into aem's tech forum, and they had never tested it on our cars so they had no settings to refference... but anyone who has any idea on this would be great... thanks

Hmmm. I can't remember the exact settings, but Import Tuner dynoed them on a 2gnt. I believe it was +2 intake and -2 exhaust for the settings. Try a search on dsmtalk.com because they have great threads there as well.

I run +2/-2 at the track, but for normal street driving i find it alot better to run +2/+2.

try my settings:

+4 degrees advance on the intake cam, exhaust cam at zero (0)

and see how you like it

Let me put it this way, best time without cam gears at all was 15.579, with the cam gears, but not tuned to those settings, 15.554, with the cam gears tuned, well see below

At worst, the idle might stumble a tiny bit when you first adjust them to those settings, but give it a little while and the car's computer should adjust and it should idle fine afterwards. (mine does)

The magazine used +7 intake/ 0 exhaust when they dynoed the cam gears (someone on the board told me this, I forgot who it was but he called them and asked them for details) The magazine people also said every time they touched the exhaust cam they lost power.

Our exhaust cam has the cam angle sensor on it, the intake cam does not, that might have something to do with why the magazine lost power when they adjusted the exhaust cam (this is my guess and the guess of another VERY experienced racer/mechanic I know)

Sorry Ken, I forgot it was you who told me that. but I do have to say that was a good job finding out that information.

It helped me go from 15.55 to 15.41
