No cam gears...but I may pick up a set someday, just to see if it helps. The JWT cams do have a little too much overlap for turbo, and I'm sure I'd see gains by dialing a little of that out.

It's just such a pain to adjust cam gears on a KA...

I't awesome that you don't need them and you have top end power like that

I'm assuming that these JWT cams were originally intended for a naturally aspirated application, correct?

If so, I'm glad, because now people can stop friggin' telling me that my cams (PDM stage II, originally for n/a, probably very similar specs to the JWT units) are hurting my power. 300 rwhp @ 12 psi is pretty DAMN good.

1) Yes...they even say that their cam gears are reccomended for turbo use with their cams.

2) Thank you...and especially considering I'm running JWT ECU!!! (BTW, base timing @ 22 BTDC made a noticeable difference, but I'd drop it if I decided to up the boost)
