Looking for a adj cam gear. Wondering if anyone had one and what the preferences are.

If anyone has a used one. Even better.

You could go with an offset woodruff key:

Great price, and offers a decent amount of adjust-ability...

How many degrees does one tooth equate to?

Found it. 40 teeth on the cam gear = 9degrees per tooth. A bit much. But with the woodruff keys, and adjusting the cam by one tooth, you have quite a few possibilities.
Advanced/Retard degrees:
2
4
5
7

Does anyone have any real world results?
I would love to improve the low end torque a bit.

I want it to dial in a different cam.

From what I read, even stock cars can be different by up to 4 degrees from the factory because of build tolerances. Which is a nice amount and worth playing with on a dyno.

How far can your advance or retard your cam before having interference issues?

We're racing an E85 924S NA.

thanks,

mike
