hey there i just got a set of HKS cam gears for my NA. I was surfing around the net and i found a site that says most power is commonly made by turing the exhuast cam to -3 marks(-6 actual degrees) and the inlet cam gear to +1 mark (+2 degrees). Is this true?? as i dont have enough money to have it properley tuned atm, should i adjust mine to what this says??? would i lose any power by doing this??? what should i do?!?!!

If I'm not mistaken thoes setings are for the turbo, don't know about the NA

94 twin turbo

you should look into pro tuning, each car can be differnt. you want it running great so dont skimp, just go get it tuned.

Try it and see if you can tell a difference.

once you get it tuned properly make a note of the settings for future reference just in case the timing slips. I haven't heard of the HKS slipping yet but anything is possible.

Has anyone noticed that the HKS gears indicate A for advance and R for retard, in th eopposite directions of other gears, namely the AEM gears? So, which way do you turn the HKS gears? I just got mine and an stumped.

Whilst on the topic, I'm considering getting a set of the HKS cam gears. What HP improvement is gained from this install? And, is it noticeable??

hey there Maz, i got sum HKS cam gears on my NA bout a month ago (still not tuned) but just by having them installed it seems to idle a little smoother and revs nicer and easier over 3 grand. And i dunno if my car is just in good condition or this other supra i raced wasnt so good, but with just the cam gears, hks pod and exhaust (custom one), i smoked this other NA 5spd Supra and i got a fair amount of wheel spin off the line (my bad, my bad) admitley he only had the exhaust but i smoked him totally.
