Another question, there isn't a set tuning, so you totally need to dyno tune these? Or is there an estimated cam setting that you can adjust it to?

To get the most out of them, use the dyno. You can get it close without though.

I'm thinking about doing this without the adjustable cam gear since it would be free. So supposedly the timing would be 1/2 tooth off... Does anyone know how that would affect the low/midrange power? I also was given the idea of taking the tab thing off the gear then rotating it slightly, and tack welding it back on, effectively shifting the gear by 1/2 tooth. Any ideas on this?

Instead or removing the dowel pin off the cam, I would just drill a new hole in the gear in the right spot.

Now THAT is a good idea!

assuming theres enough room to where the holes dont overlap

id just fork out the money for 1 adjustable cam gear

No. bad. bad idea.

All you'd need to do is bore the factory hole a little, adjust the cam gear in that direction, then fill the other side in with weld. Then install it 180' inverted and move it 3 teeth and the timing will be dead on. For free.

Hmmmmmmmmmm i kind of understand but i don't...

Well I haven't ACTUALLY tried (I will this weekend) but I'll post a how-to assuming this works.

Please do! I still have mine that i bought cheap but i just have to have that gear cut off 1st!

I think it'll work

I thought about something. Maybe somebody could answer this. I'm only going to be running the stock bp cams when I boost it. Ryan runs the gtx exintake cam. What if I just used the bp exintake cam with a boosted setup? Would it hurt to do? Would there be a decent amount of a power gain? I'm figuring it won't be as good as a gtx exintake cam but might be a little less hp than it.

if you look at the cam specs they are pretty damn close, aside from the timing. so with adjustable gears it should work alright.

Yea I would only do this mod with adjustable gears.

if someone has the means to do this accurately, i think they should make a few and sell them here
