Thanks so much. I appreciate all that you do for your customers. Why I've ever bought WRX/Evo parts from other companies in the past will remain a mystery to me.
It is kinda like an AA meeting.. "Hi, my name is Seth and I'm... ulp... a former S-AFC user. I'm still haunted by nightmares from that blue screened little silver box that turns people's tailpipe smoke blue as well over time."

I know the SAFC can be used effectively but I get an uneasy nervous feeling when Im in the presence of one basking in its horrid blue glow I cant take my eyes off it making sure it wont jump off the dash to bite me or throw a rod at my head. Im being critical but I am nervous around them.BTW I knew you would be here soon Noize

If you mean the actual timing wheel from the factory Ive seen them from 0-to +4 (mine was reading +3 at the degree wheel but was actually at 0(TDC) speaking with others this is normal and the factory is nearly always spot on regardless of the degree wheel reading. My degree wheel actually reads +1 (with -2/-2 cam gears) thus retarded -2 from my original setting

Hey Guys!!!
Just got back from the garage. My AEM cam gears (for 95-99 GS-T) perfectly line up with the stock cam gears
(TDC and everyhting). I guess scratch timing from my list of concerns for my car.

Noize,
DO you have the Vishnu cam gears? If you are going to use locktite, I say use the blue one at the most. I didnt use locktite on mine. They seem to hold pretty well, and I check the bolts every weekend to see if they are loose, so far, they are holdin up!!!
Hows ur cam install?

OK, this is the second time I've read something like this and it makes me just a wee bit more confused each time. Let me verify one simple thing first. The red dot is for me to line the cam gears to the timing belt/cover and NOT to set the cam timing, correct? Mine shipped at -5 each on the hash marks from the actual "zero" reading, NOT -5 from the red dot. Since I have a stage I, I leave them at true -5 according to the gear itself, correct? Also, should I add some loctite to the allen head screws to make sure they don't back out?

They are Vishnu cam gears. I'm likely putting them in in the morning. I wouldn't use anything more than blue, I agree with that. What is everyone else doing with Vishnu cam gears? Blue Locktite or none?

I got my 264/272 combo to idle so smooth that we're dropping in a set of 272 intake cams tomorrow to see what can be done with that set-up. Hopefully, that can become a more streetable set-up that what is commonly believed.
