Default Cam Gears

Is there any adjustable cam gears available for the F20C? I am very interested in getting a pair. Does anyone know if they make them? Where I can find them? Thanks!

Your best bet is to contact Tom Suchocki at C&T Engineering. He has developed an adjustable gear for our engines. He hasn't put it into production yet (due to low interest and other projects), but if enough people call him, he'll start moving. The design is rather complex, which is why no one else has done it yet, and its expensive to manufacture. You can expect a pair to cost at least $500.

Tom's email is tps21@earthlink.net

What would you benefit from a different cam gear?

The adjustable cam gears let you tweak the cam timing to extract more power. You need them if you get new cams.

I suppose when I get the money to actually do it. Joe will give me a discount, but R&Ring the head isn't cheap, even with the folks I have to do it.

The big problem is that I just spent major $$ on a dynapack - hell, it cost more than my S2K - so I'm not exactly mod happy right now. Which is kinda sad since I have my own dyno.

If someone (normally aspirated) wants to be the first for the head, I can get you wholesale on the parts (retainers, springs, valves) and 50% off the labor for the head. I'll also throw in free before and after dynoing. But you must have a VAFC or other tuning device so we can try and optimize the fuel curve.

I figure to do it at regular price, you're looking at $1200 for the head/parts, $200-$300 for dynoing, and at least $500-$600 for RR. If you are the first, you can probably do it for not much more than half that.

Any takers in SoCal?

Well, you could still do it, but I wouldn't be able to dyno it for you. I would be willing to fly out for a day or two (particularly in September, I'll be in the Austin area) to assist in the final dyno tuning. PM me if you're interested.
