Should I run Adjustable Cam gears?
My setup-
GSR bottom end stock
B16 head with GSR cams
Ram Horn mani
60 trim t3t04e with .63 A/R
3" all the way out
I have a set of skunk 2 cam gears, that I am either going to sell, or run
I have read on Evans-tuning.com the article about cam gears and gaining amounts of power, but I have read Jeff recently speaking that adjustable cam gears really dont help, they just change the powerband. I am wondering should I sell the cam gears, or use them.
Pro-
possibly more power/different powerband
Cons-
not OEM
lower quality run risk of cracking ect
could put money towards something else

Talk to your tuner. Some tuners love adjusting cam gears. Some don't use them at all... Most people use adj gears if the head or block has a milled quite a bit, you need the adj gear to get the cam back to TDC.

How do you feel about Evans' recent change of opinion regarding the use of cam gears? I really wish you tuners would discuss this more, because I don't see how dyno results can lie.
