Re: Adjusting cam gears (NoFiA)
you adjust it by loosening the bolts around the center bolt and turning the center bolt with a wrench..once you get it in place where you want it tighten down all the small bolts again...you can probally get away with +2 degrees on a stock cam..try +1 degree first and see what happens

In order to properly tune the sprocket, you'll want to take the car to a dyno, so that you have an accurate indication of just what effect your adjustments are having on the engine's power output. Also, be certain to correctly torque the adjustment bolts after adjustment, to ensure that they don't slip.
