Turbo engine w/ cam gear?
 

I have a skunk 2 cam gear on my 91 crx si. stock: you usually set 2 degrees advanced. so when you throw on turbo where do you want to set the cam gear to? i heard if you retard them it will help spool up faster, is this true? or should i just set it back to stock with turbo?

A DOHC will benefit more that a SOHC

stock works good but 2-3 degrees retard give a good push at the high end. try it and see how u like it. ;D

Re:Turbo engine w/ cam gear?
 

well, it depends on how much you are boosting, and what are you using for engine management. if you are boosting over say 6 or 7 lbs. you will prolly want to retard it a little bit.

ok, so what do the cam gears retard have to do with the ignition retard....whats the diff.??

nothing really, timing is timing, just different ways to adust it.

so you're saying i can just retard my cam gear 2 degrees instead of retarding my timing at the dizzy 2 degrees?!? i thought the dizzy was for the ignition and the cam gear was for the intake/exhaust timing???
