    Adjustable cam gears??

    05-02-2012 10:55 PM #1
    I plan on getting 268 cams + other mods. Found adjustable cam gears on renoks.com. I dont know if this companys reliable or not, but i know theres alot you can do with adjustable cams on american cars and others. Was wondering if they do anything on the r32 motor and if so what should they be adjusted to for maximum gains?

    They adjust with oil pressure due to vvt already .

    I think the reason you aren't getting the answer you are looking for is because for the most part the answer is NO due to the VVT.

    Some of the tuners change the cam timing. I know Atwood does.
