worthless... UNLESS you buy some aftermarket aggressive cams to go along with it like the skunk2 stage 1's or 2 (depending upon what else youve done) or you could dip into what crower has, blah blah blah. search up on cam gears and WHY they are so useful WHEN you have AGRESSIVE cams

yeah ,agreed. the pupose of this is to have less weight on ur rotating parts for a quicker response. its usless unless u want looks for the engine bay unless u hav other upgrades.

i had one (it's up for sale now) on my 97 LX and it did help. i advanced it out 4-degrees and it moved the power band down further in the rev range. anything to help. yes, a cam would have benefited more, but for the money, it wasn't a bad investment.

um...no...

cam gears (adjustable ones) are good for retarding or advancing timing of the exhaust and intake ports. so unless you have something that can REALLY see benefits out of adjustable cam gears, then its almost useless, unless you can get a good deal on em

Default pulleys

What about pulleys? Is Dinan right when he said it'll screw up your engine over the long run? Or is that if you change the crank pulley? UR has a full kit while AEM TruPower only has accessory pulleys.
