cam gear necessary?
hey all, i will be running between 8-10 psi on my d16 and i was wondering, since i will be getting it tuned(safc), Should i get a cam gear so that the tuner can advance or decrease my timing? can this be done with out an aftermarket cam gear? i know all the after market ones have dashes on em for each degree so this is what i'm wondering.
thanks all
thanks all

Re: cam gear necessary? (d0nfry)
To elaborate on the what the others said, it comes in handy if you have a significant amount of material removed from your head/block to compensate for the changes in height.
Other than that, on a SOHC motor, it basically just moves the power band around. You want to adjust anything more than that, you'll need a new cam.
So, in short, if your motor is stock, save your money for something else (i.e. better management solution )

he is talking about cam timing not ignition timing...
