Cam Gear/sprocket Question

[auggiereg]

I was thinking of replacing my stock cam gear/sprocket with a light weight one. What kind of power gains could I see? I'm not looking for anything spectacular, just something better for the moment being. Thanks for the help.

you dont replace it for weight reasons you replace it because its adjustable
on a stock cam dont expect to see more than 5-7hp
on an aftermarket cam who the fuck knows

have them tuned on a dyno for best results

what would be the best way to adjust the sprocket for an every day driver? in other words how far should i advance the timing gear or should i just leave it at zero?

if you leave it at zero you just spent $$$$$ to gain nothing
if you try to set it yourself you might gain something you might lose something

bring it to a dyno and have it set to where it will make the best power
