I have a aem cam gear and on the directions it sais for top end HP retard , and advance for low end.but you car has two cams I'm not sure but if you buy one the directions will help.

the AEMs are known to slip

i would suggest a different cam gear (with at least 4 bolts)

and one that can't be adjusted for more than +/-5 degrees

ReallY! that sucks to know! Is there any thing to do to prevent slippage. locktight? And whats makes them slip? are they chealy made or is it high torque? I don't think I will be putting more the 120 foot pounds out so am I safe?
