1. U need to know how a head fully functions , lifters , valves , etc etc
2. U need the tools , do u have a cam dial gauge ?
3. U need a degree wheel
4. U need a need to know engine basics , TDC , BTDC .....etc
5. U need adjustable cam pulleys
6. If you are running on hydraulic tapets , u need to modify one to be made solid
7. If you dont at all understand wht i stated above :D hehehe alot more need to learn
*I ownself do not know how to do cam degree, i only watch the sifu's do it, and I can say is that I understand, but I do not wht so ever have practical knowledge of these, hehehe
first things first, you need a cam card , nearly all cams are not drop in cams, tht includes HKS , BC , JUN , FP , TOMEI , etc etc
this is how a cam card looks like , the below is for a evo8 cosworth cam
with the tools above stated , you will be able to degree/dial in your cams in a SERIOUS way that you have requested :D , no ketuk ketuk please
some pictures of cam dialing in process
Bump: please play safe hehehe , dont adjust wrongly, you could end up putting a valve into your piston :P
some more tweaking can be done after you have dialed them properly
Advancing Intake and Exhaust : This will provide the car with more bottom end power, and will decrease top end. Advancing both cam gears will move overlap earlier but will not increase it.
Retarding Intake and Exhaust : This will increase the cars top end, but will decrease low end. Retarding both cam gears will move the overlap later and but will not change the amount of overlap.
Advance Exhaust Only : This will help the cars top end, and it reduces overlap.
Retard Exhaust only : This will help the cars mid range power, very useful for cars with big turbos / big cams. By increasing overlap, It decreases lag significantly. Doing this will bring the boost on all at once. Very common DSM modification.
Advance Intake only : This will increase overlap and helps the cars bottom end and mid range power. This mod will bring the turbo on all at once, although isnt a very common mod for DSMS.
