AEM would not be my preferred brand. ST Corsa were in my opinion the best, but are now discontinued. The new Bisimoto sprockets look to be a good alternative.

Correct - anything else would just be guesswork.

If you won't be dyno-tuning them, don't bother purchasing them. Just spend the money on something else. If properly tuned, power gains will vary depending upon the rest of your setup.

No, that's incorrect.

 

This is new cam gear with serrations incorporated in its design to eliminate slippage. Slipping cam gears have been an issue for tuners like myself, and this is an excellent solution for D, B, H and F engines.





They will not slip even with one bolt in..not that we recommend that.

 

how does one adjust a skunk2 cam gear?

 

if i was to get a set of adjustable cam gears...about how much would it cost to get my car dyno'd

 

How should we know? Call a tuner or shop that has a dyno and ask them. The prices range greatly from state to state and area to area.
