Message adjustable intake cam gears.

I previously didn't have adjustable cam gears and after talking to SZ, I installed them. When they came up to dyno tune my car, they first ran the car several times, adjusting the cam gears one at a time until they found the sweet spot for each cam gear. Let me tell you, it's a night and day difference.

Because my engine was now more efficient and less restrictive, I could run more boost. Plus look at the lower end response.

Here's a chart on 91 octane, comparing the before and after results of cam tuning:

Here's 94 (E10 ethanol blend):

Here's VP109:

Now remember, the above is based on a relatively small turbo (530BB). It was like driving a completely different car after the cam tuning.

Port work would also help a lot.
