Cam gear adjustment for forced induction..?...

Post by cjthor »

Right now I have my intake cam gear advanced two degrees and my exhaust retarted two. Don't ya that that if I do the opposite I should be able to get the car to not detonate at 12psi?

aaannnndddd what if when I go to adjust the exhaust cam gear the thing wont budge. Should I let it sit for a day or so and see if the lifters lose a lil pressure? Maybe then I can rotate the cam?
