Re: sohc cam gear (JdmEGHatch6)
you really wont see too much of a difference with a cam gear.....maybe 2whp at the very most. if you were pushin serious hp from an sohc then it would be benificial. but if used right it doesnt hurt 
which cam gear are you getting?

Hella_JDM, they all have 3 bolts, old and new...to the original postee, I think Hella is sayin make sure it is indexed properly. Back in the day, AEM indexed some gears wrong..., also, make sure the marks for tdc's match up to stock (keyway should be inline with 12 oclock mark, etc...)

adjustable cam gears allow you to easily adjust the timing ... could possibly gain some ht by a retard. Good for boosting'

Re: (VTECMaster)
on sohc, adv. cam bring power band down, ret. cam brings power band up...depends on tune and cam profile if you will make power at any certain setting.
