help with sprockets and stock cam
I have a 2000 Civic Si since new (only owner)
The engine is stock (I think it is B16A2). well, I put DC header, AEM cold air intake and unortodox crank pulley, no timing or ECU mod.
I got cam sprockets for free from a friend that didn't used it (they are new).
I will like to install them but want to know what would be the normal adjustment to start. or if there is no gain on doing it.
4 degrees advance on intake and 2 degrees retard on exhaust? for now I will not change the cams.
any info, please

Re: help with sprockets and stock cam
if they are adjustable only way you will tell gains is on a dyno. just 0 the cams gears on and leave it untill you get a tune.

Re: help with sprockets and stock cam
Thanks for answer.
Yes they are adjustables.
So what you say is that there is no a standard formula or starting point for this combination.
I was thinking to do a first adjustment by myself and eventually get the car to a pro.
