Would it be worth getting a cam gear for a sohc
I know you cant do much timing adjustment with a sohc, but what would a cam gear actually do for tuning a sohc civic?

If its not a turbo dont even bother, wtf is 2 whp on a 110-120whp car? Dont bother, been there and done it, waste of money.

werd. A cam gear is only needed for tuning purposes if you have a cam, upgraded valvetrain, fuel management, etc. Dont just stick one on there and expect to gain much. Unless you have a dyno and can jump on for free, there is no real way to properly set the timing w/ it. Could actually end up making it worse than better.

if it was a dohc where u can adjust intake and exhaust independantly my opinion would be to go for it.
but on sohcs there isnt really that much of a point
