[recneps]

so ive still got some money left over and im still looking to do some stuff to my car. and i was thinking of advancing my timing. from what ive read 12 BTDC will not cause a knock as long as i use a higher octane gas.

i was thinking about purchasing a pair of these

Ignition timing and cam timing are 2 different things. Cam gears are typically used to adjust the powerband in an RPM range. Very useful on N/A motors with big cams.

They are also not allowed in some SCAA classes though you can buy woodruff keys from summit thet have the advance or retard built in to the key eliminating the need of the adj gear.
