I have a milled head of.028 and high compression valves and 2 layer head gasket and I just got stage 1 skunk2 cams and jg cam gears and I was wondering how I should do the cam timing on the dohc?

 

Anyone?

 

I will ask one more time since my post has now made it on the 3rd page.

 

I'd start with advancing intake and retarding exhaust to help with cylinder filling.

 

Ok cool

 

Is that more like low end or top end though?

 

you cant just guess, you have<U></U> to put it on a dyno, every engine is different, what will work for you wont work for someone else even using similar setup, i wouldnt trust the butt dyno on this one, ive seen it be decieving in these cases

 

ok well keep it at 0 then for now cuz right now its 2 degrees advanced on the intake and 2 degrees retarded on the exaust

 

Well I tried the +2 intake and -2 exaust and to me 0 degrees on both cams feels better so I dont know.

 

stop ****** with it..u dont know what ur doing

 

since the head was milled both of the cams will be retarded just a little. but yeah... take it to a dyno and have them adjust them.

Ill **** with what I want and when you mill a head it retards the timing...lol

damnit... i was thinking about it and thought i had it backwards. lol..... fixed

 

I think you are a <U>retard</U> for messing with <U>advanced</U> cam gears. You CANT just play with them till something feels right. You need to take that thing in and get some information from a data logger. You are going to screw up your motor by "playing" around with them like that. Dont be cheap take it to a shop slap it on a dyno and get that thing dialed in.

HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!

 

yeah retard I am going to take it to a dyno and wow I sure messed up my motor...LMFAO

 

Just put the stock values and get the car tuned in dyno.

 

Ya thats where I am leaving it until dyno tuned but what I was really wanting to know, is how to adjust the gears for top end power?

 

keep them at factory spec till you get the dyno and tuner. and never for get your ignition timing :-P

and this is why i love SOHC lol

if you go to a good engine tuner with a reliable dyno, they'll know where to start and should be able to pull out more power. they should run a wide band (yes even on yur NA car)... if you have a stand alone, make sure they deal with that brand, if you have a hack... well most people can use a hack.

 

Ya I know all that..lol
