My talon will be put back together soon, im getting a really good deal on some adjustable cam gears, are they worth buying and is there going to be any minimal power gains with proper tuninig?

 

im curious as well i heard most people just get 1 for the intake cam, post up your finds people

 

here is some cam timing info you may be interested in

Advancing Intake and Exhaust : This will provide the car with more bottom end power, and will decrease top end. Advancing both cam gears will move overlap earlier but will not increase it.

Retarding Intake and Exhaust : This will increase the cars top end, but will decrease low end. Retarding both cam gears will move the overlap later and but will not change the amount of overlap.

Advance Exhaust Only : This will help the cars top end, and it reduces overlap.

Retard Exhaust only : This will help the cars mid range power, very useful for cars with big turbos / big cams. By increasing overlap, It decreases lag significantly. Doing this will bring the boost on all at once. Very common DSM modification.

Advance Intake only : This will increase overlap and helps the cars bottom end and mid range power. This mod will bring the turbo on all at once, although isnt a very common mod for

 

are these worth buying before i get my big cams?? will be used on stockers.

 

we messed around with mine on the dyno for about 15 minutes, did about 6 runs and didnt see a single gain or loss.and i was running pretty big cams, i personally will never use them again but some people have claimed to gain crazy power, i just have never seen it....

 

weight reduction, possibly helps power come on sooner? not much maybe 200rpm, def show points though if you got moon cuts

 

the aem cam gears i got were actually heavier then my stock cam gears.....
