Default Pls Post your AEM cam gear adjustments

I am ready to adjust my AEM camgears but I would like to have the adjustment of other ITR owners. All I have is the V-AFC, AEM AIC and a AIF meter with the Digital display. I understand that the adjustments will be different depending on the mods installed, but the adjusments will give me a place to start.
I appreciate any comments and suggestions.

I want to run a Dyno but I am waiting to get some Toda Spec b's until then I would like to do some tunning until I receive them, this way I don't have to pay twice.

Tuning can only be done on the dyno. Besides every car is different, what works for one may not work for you. I would just leave it until you get the cams and take it to the dyno.

different cars benefit from different settings, but try advancing your In cam and retarding your Ex cam a bit. Try somthing like In +2, Ex -1 drive the car around and see how it feels and later try other settings like In +3, Ex -1. That's all you can do if you do not want to pay money to have it dyno tuned.

Dyno it! No other way to tell..not even the butt dyno.

For example, a car Mike K dyno'd made best power with the ITR cams set at +4 intake and +2 exhaust. My car, with teh same cams...made best power at +4 intake, -2 exhuast.

You cant just try doing small adjustments and going for a drive. Uusally with cam gears, you will gain 1-2 HP per adjustment..sometimes nothing...no way youll be able to tell a differance by doing an adjustment and going for a drive.

i've messed with mine and I can feel the difference. I have to agree the difference sometimes can be very small and you will not feeel it.

You can't tell until you dyno. As many have mentioned already, every car and every setup is different. Try advancing the intake gear 2 degrees and retarding the exhaust 1 till you have the dyno time.
