What Does an Adjustable Cam Gear Do?

A cam gear allows precise adjustment of camshaft timing relative to the crankshaft.

By advancing or retarding cam timing, tuners can shift the engine’s powerband and optimize performance.

Benefits include:

• Improved horsepower
• Increased torque
• Better throttle response
• Enhanced tuning flexibility
• Optimized camshaft performance

This is particularly important when using aftermarket camshafts.

Why Cam Timing Matters

Even a high-performance camshaft cannot perform at its full potential if cam timing is not properly optimized.

Adjusting cam timing can:

Increase Midrange Torque

Advancing cam timing often improves low and midrange power.

Improve Top-End Horsepower

Retarding cam timing can shift power higher in the RPM range.

Optimize Turbo Applications

Turbocharged D-series engines frequently benefit from custom cam timing adjustments based on boost levels and turbo sizing.

Fine-Tune Dyno Results

A few degrees of adjustment can make measurable differences in horsepower and torque curves.
