vx cam? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Russell on  Wed Mar 9 12:00 CST 2005 [RELATED]

As opposed to what the IPD instructions say I found that retarding the cam timing didn't improve the low end torque for me. I have my cam gear set to full advance and I like it. It didn't turn the car into a porsche by any measure but it sure woke it up and the throttle response feels better. My car is a 1988 wagon, automatic, with 233k on it and stock exhaust. I hear an aftermarket exhaust combined with the cam gear and cam shaft really makes a difference. Although, I'm not sure how much longer we'll have the wagon...so I haven't tried it.
