Alright, I just got back from Atlanta with my results. I got the AEM cam gears installed and tuned. I gained 9.6 whp and 5.2 ft/lbs of torque. Take a look for yourselves.

99' GSR 13.6 @ 103.4mph
-JRSC w/ Walbro Fuel Pump, AEM Intake, Tanabe Racing Medallion Exhaust, Mugen Header, Ground Control Coilovers/ Koni Adjustable Shocks, and Wings West Body Kit
Good results. Were the gears done before or after the MSD install, and fuel pressure tuning, etc?

JR Supercharger (6 psi), HO fuel pump, RS*R Header, Thermal R&D Exhaust, Iceman Intake, Neuspeed Front Tower Bar, Type-R Rear Swaybar, Short Shifter, ST 1.3" drop springs
how much did it cost u to install and tune them?

94gsr, Drag3 and yellow paint goin on in april
is that with the 6 or 8 psi????

1996 GSR 4dr....221 hp with a 6psi JRSC
Heres how I pay for all my goodies
POWER
I never got the BTM installed cause I didn't have the right one. They never messed with the fuel pressure because I had 2 fuel pressure gauges sitting in my apartment and I picked up the wrong one. They charged about $200 to install and tune the gears.
BLWNGSR: That is on the 6psi kit.

And please tell us, what were the final settings! Also did they re-set the timing back to it's baseline after changing the intake cam! Please let us know.
It looks from the graph, that they simply advanced the timing 3 - 4 degrees, but I might be wrong.

Might as well ask this here but,
I have some JG cam gears, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see what difference they might make with my SC as one of them was wrenched up too tight (from it's last adjustment -- by someone else, not me)
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions how to get these things loose? Like for instance what kind of lubricant/solvent I could use safely -- let it set on there for a day and then hopefully get it loose. (or any other tips) thanks
Lungren: Sorry it took so long, I've been so busy. As far as I know, the timing right now is set at 13 degrees. You were right about the cam gear settings. They were basically just advanced, it looks like 4 degrees.

I just wanted to float an idea I read about this weekend and see if it had any merit. Basically the person suggested that if you want to tune your cam gears you can just hook up a compression tester and adjust the gears until you had the highest compression and that would result in the greatest hp gains. I figure if this works it could save some serious money in dyno time. What do you folks think?
228GSR: So they just advanced the intake 4 degrees, and the exhaust they also advanced 4 degrees, but they didn't change the timing.
If that's the case, I'd take the car back to those idiots, and tell them to do it right. You MUST, change the timing every time you move the intake cam. +1 on the intake cam = +2 at the crank on the ignition timing. So of course +intake yields power, but the power doesn't come from the cam settings, it's coming from the advanced timing, which also means detionation.
Well as for the timing I would set it around 10 degrees and no more since you don't any timing retard controls. Plugs I run are the NGK "High performance" (as opposed to longlife plats) Platinums BKR7EVX-11 and I run a gap of .042 These plugs are only jsut under $4.00 and worth it http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif As for the gear timing, you should take it back to them and have them check it since you paid money to get tht car tuned on the dyno and there is a serious chance that the "Tuned" it wrong/not at all. If it was just your timing that changed and they tuned it wrong you should be able to get it tuned right again. What were the setting exactly anyway? Good luck man.

Lungren: Thanks for the tips. What is the timing suppose to be set at? The first person who installed my SC messed up the timing in the first place. When the guy at the shop checked my timing, it was at 14 degrees. I'm pretty sure he said he set it at 13 degrees. I'll call back and check tomorrow.

Also, I haven't had any detonation or pinging problems yet. If you could please tell me what it's suppose to be at and also what spark plugs i'm suppose to have, I would appreciate. I'm going home in a couple of days to have my LSD, clutch and flywheel installed. And I trust the guy whose doing it, so I'll have him adjust my timing for me.

It should be as high as you can get it with out detonation. Plugs you should run a 7 heat range plug.
