obviously i don't want my cam gears slipping, but i dont want to strip the screws either. any reccomendation on what torque setting to use? i'm using HKS adjustable cam gears

 

Ask HKS. They are the only ones that will know what torque setting the gears and bolts were designed for.

 

Stock is 41 ft/lbs but I agree with RJ on contacting HKS for the proper tq specs.

 

i belive he means the adjustment bolts
if he does 41 ft/lbs
he WILL strip it

 

Oh of course. I thought he was talking about the bolt.

 

i believe that AEM recommends 14-17- ft/lbs of torque... but then again, thats with AEM. i guess you could use that as reference

 

i'll try the AEM settings, tnx for the info

I dont know anything about either cam gear.

But its possible that they are different designs and you could be under or over-torquing the bolts. And you could gernede the motor.
