- Mon Nov 12, 2007 8:33 am #29505 Has anyone here play with a different aftermarket cam, such as, comp cam/zex cam, skunk2, obx, or any others??

- Mon Nov 12, 2007 8:43 am #29506 Why would you place a adjustable cam gear ?

Do you have a other cam shaft installed ?

With the oem cam shaft i do not recommend a aftermarket cam gear

- Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:39 pm #29604 Well you're going to want a cam that is made for boost. In other words, it wont have a lot of overlap like an N/A cam. It wont hurt anything, but it's far from optimal because you'll be blowing boost right out the exhaust. On an N/A, overlap helps pull air in. Even the stock cam on the high lobes has too much overlap to be ideal for boost.

so if even a stock cam has too much overlap, is there a cam you would recommend?

Prolly not

@Bietboer/Mark: did you already installed a adjust. cam gear ? so you can correct the cam shaft, or is it good atm ?
