Dynoflash and Cam Gears

Al,
I curretly have your mail in dynoflash, I am wanting to add some Vinshu Cam Gears to my car and do like a -4 -4 or -5 -5 degree change. Can I do this with the current flash I have from you or do I need to get you to do a retune?
My other current mods are:
K&N drop in filter
Buschur 2.5in DP
Muffler Delete
MBC 19-20psi
Walbro fuel pump

We do not recomend cam gears on street cars

I have HKS adjustable gears on my car and I have them both on 0 - for what its worth

However - i do have a few tunes with that cam gear adjustment you are suggesting and would be happy to reflash yours to take those into account

Where do you live ? It would be better to get it custom tuned - if possible.

Thanks

Why do you not recomend them on a street car? I am wanting to increase my top end, not sure if I want to go cams and I thought the cam gears would be a great way to go. I wanting your custom tune and I know you are coming to ATL on March 22 but I will not have all the stuff done to the car that I want done before the tune.....maybe

The better way is to save the funds and get the cams - that way you increase power across the entire power band - thats just my own personal opinion - - I don;t like the low end spool up on the cars that have the cam gears. Personally - i like cars that pull hard down low AND that pull on top

The thing about cam gears is that you can taylor the torque curve to what you like it to be and optimize area under the curve. If you feel that stock cam settings do the latter then you are correct. If not, then cam gears may be the way to go. The big disadvantage of cam gears is having to fiddle with them and adding yet another variable to you tuning - and many dyno runs and road testing to boot.
