I hope you at least got a brand name set of cam gears. Try getting them tuned...

Leave the cam gears at the stock configuration. Without mods adjusting them will do nothing.

I've heard of the AEM tru-time cam gears being shitty because of their shotty printing of the marks. I wouldn't even trust ebay cam gears.
