it is worth it you can tune where you want your power incress, when the valves open at what crank angle you wont make 2-5 HP on any car for less then $200

This is just kind of a theory question, but since this is the tech forum, I'll ask this here:

The "cam gear" is turned by a timing belt. Doesn't that make it a cog? I thought sprockets indicated a chain, pulleys indicated a belt (non-toothed), cogs indicated a timing belt, and gears indicate more glears.

Now, I'm not an expert on power transmission but I was just wondering...do we have our terminology wrong?

for NA or nitrous setups using stock cam, set cam gear at 3 degree retard. No reset the ignition timing to 18-19 BTDC.

Worth a useable 6-7 hp and 2 tenths at the track.
