The Adjustable
Camshaft Sprocket Set includes the following:
6 modified
sprockets that either use our custom offset buttons (4 exhaust) or have
integral adjustment wheels (2 intake) to allow a total of 10 camshaft degrees of
intake cam (and entire rotating assembly) timing adjustment, as well as total
12 camshaft degrees of exhaust cam timing adjustment (i.e. overlap).
- The intake cam sprockets have an adjustable
centre for infinite adjustment of 5 camshaft degrees advance to 5 camshaft
degrees retard, with an indicator.
- The exhaust cam sprocket offset buttons
increase or decrease overlap by 0-6 camshaft degrees.
8 washers to use
with the stock fasteners on the chain sprockets to hold the buttons in.
8 exhaust cam sprocket
offset buttons for 0 camshaft degrees setting (stock)
8 exhaust cam
sprocket offset buttons for 3 camshaft degrees adjustment either way to adjust
overlap
(The above, in
various combinations will provide 0, 3 or 6 camshaft degrees of overlap adjustment)
NOTE: Most people speak of camshaft specs in
crankshaft degrees, which are 2x the camshaft degrees. Thus we offer 20 total crankshaft degrees of
intake cam adjustment (from 10 crankshaft degrees advance to 10 crankshaft
degrees retard), and 24 total crankshaft degrees of overlap adjustment (from 12
crankshaft degrees advance to 12 crankshaft degrees retard).
These camshaft
sprockets have not yet been properly dyno tested ... we have some results, but
not at all settings, and have not properly reviewed them yet. For example, Don Donelson found that they
picked up mid range with his Stage IV car, with little loss in upper end, by
advancing the rotating assembly by 3 cam degrees via the intake sprockets.
There is no
guarantee of any power increase. Under some settings, power will actually be
lost. They do, however, enable you to play around with the settings to enable
adjustments to the power curve. You can
also reduce overlap on Stage II or +10 or +20 or +40 or even stock cams on a
blower or naturally aspirated car with these sprockets, in order to reduce
low-end torque loss.
