After reading into this a little more, going the NA route using a Stage 1 or 2 cam with stock gears seems to do just fine. Just debating whether or not to spend yet another chunk and get them. I think it'd be a waste if they'll be set at 0.

Anyone running this setup?

 

I'm running Crower 62403s on stock cam gears without any problem.

 

Thanks! I went the same route, using Comp Stage 2s with OEM gears.

 

ive tried it with my spoon cams and worked well until i changed to a thinner gasket.

 

Yeah, thinner head gasket or head/block milling would require adjustable gears.

 

how much does a thinner head gasket throw off the cam timing? mugen head gasket for example?

 

Do a search in the Allmotor forum archives for cam gears, there was a discussion awhile ago that went over the math involved with figuring that out. I don't remember all of it, but I do know that you would need to know the difference in thicknesses between the stock headgasket and the new one.
