installed camshaft wrong?

That gear can only change the timing on the increments noted on the gear, so it cannot do 4* retarded but it can do 5* retarded.

To change it to 5* retarded remove the gear from the camshaft and make sure the pin on the cam goes into the hole with the "-5" line.

How would I go 4* retarded? would I need a different cam gear?

Yes you would need a fully adjustable gear with inner and outer halves bolted together.

Guys I'm confused... so it seems like most people who run the ipd turbo cam don't run it at "0" they run it normally anywhere from -4* retarded to +4* advanced

Anyways I did get the cam installed with the stock cam timing and tbh I couldn't really tell the car had a different power band.


So Harlard recommended I run the car at -4* retarded...

Here comes the laughable noob questions... :oops:


How the heck do you make the cam -4* retarded??????

I have this adjustable ipd cam gear here

and tbh I guess I don't know how to use it.

would advancing the cam timing +/- 4* mean I just need to make the cam gear 3 teeth off?

I highly advise against you running this one. Get a unit from STS or Yoshifab per Ken's suggestion above.
