cam gear setting to remove ITR overlap
I have a 98 ITR with a jrsc plus Jim's stepper pulley (8-9psi). I've heard that ITR cams have too much overlap for forced induction. If I leave my timing at stock how much should I adjust the intake and exhaust cams? How much power would I gain? Everything else is stock except an AEM CAI. I know each car is different, but I was wondering what you guys with similiar set ups have done. I don't have a good dyno tuner available.

A good starting point would be -2 on the intake, +2 on the exhaust. I am sure it would need alot better adjustment than what i mentioned, but i dialed out most of the overlap with my gsr cams. You could even possible take it too -4 on the intake, and +3 on the exhaust since there is that much more on the itr cams.

This is usually the case. Every engine is different, but to dial out overlap you retard the intake and advance the exhaust cam.

Re: cam gear setting to remove ITR overlap (boosted hybrid)
Thanks for the info, guys. I was wondering how much power will I gain from dialing out the overlap? Is it worth the money? Cam gears are cheap, but I will have to pay for the work.
