At $99, I think it is over priced. Considering it is basically useless, I think it is over priced at $5...

what exactly would it do???
Advance or retard your intake and exhaust cams 10 degres. The problem is that you advance/retard them together as they are linked via a chain on the drivers side of the engine.what exactly would it do???
Normally you advance the intake cam and retard the exhaust cam....you can't do that if they are linked.

Say you did use this, and you advanced both cams, would it hurt anything? Would there be even a slight increase in power?

Only a dyno would tell. Advancing both might help, retarding both might help. but I wouldn't expect more than 2-3 HP out of it.

hmmm well thats 2-3hp more then you had before
That 2-3 HP will cost you $99+ for the cam gear, and $75-$125 for the dyno time.hmmm well thats 2-3hp more then you had before
That's $175-$225 for MAYBE 2-3 HP.

Sorry, what I meant was, where can we get that adjustable sprocket for the chain (opp. side), like the one that's collecting dust in your closet? wink tongue.gif
