Cam Gear adjustment

[mott6904]

I have a rb20 with a short runner intake manifold, ported head, kelford 10.2mm lift 260 duration cams and a 60-1. What do you guys think i should adjust my cams to for some good low end power? I have searched and cant find anything. I would just take it to a tuner but there are none around me to trust.

You really need to tune cams on a dyno. You don't have to have a tuner you trust but a dyno operator. You seem like you know how to adjust them, but dyno isn't gonna help you get it dialed in very well.

I know that you really need to do it on a dyno but there isnt a shop that i will trust around my area. I can use a dyno at my buddies hot rod shop but he doesnt know anything but v8 stuff. I going to put it on a dyno as soon as i save some money for a good tune, then im going to degree cams at the same time. I was just curious if any out there has degreed a rb20 with cam and turbo could give me some info on this. I thought if you Advanced the intake cam and retard the exhaust then you would gain low end and loose some top end. I dont know much about degree cams at all, so someone help me out.

What did Kevin / VMS say? Or did you even ask them?

Yea I talked to kevin about and he said they could do it, but money is tight and I'm able to use the dyno for pratically nothing. I was think it counld'nt be that hard, I was just going to start adjusting them and the crank it over by hand to make sure it was hit a valve and then keep adjusting till im happy with changes.
