they can be when you have adjustable gears.
which is totally impractical for an sr or other similar timing chain motors. but even on a timing belt motor when you're adjusting the cam gears, you never really make MORE power than what they do...you're simply moving the powerband....granted you can start off and have the gears adjusted wrong, then fix it and pick up some power from fixing it but once it makes the most numbers it's gonna make, you're just left wasting time on the dyno moving the peak numbers around the rpm range.
as far as putting cam gears on a timing belt motor....if you're deleting vvt, then DEFINITELY not a good trade off.
adjustable cam gears are the most worthless "look what i got that does absolutely nothing significant for the money they cost" mod you could ever do...aka "rice" imho.
it'd be the same people that get adjustable cam gears but not spend the money on an electronic boost controller which has fail safes so you don't over boost.......that shit frustrates the hell outta me lol.
"you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink"
i don't like aftermarket cams on boosted motors, as you can probably gather from why i made this thread in the first place lol
i will always rock the stock cams for as long as i possibly can....and if i do upgrade, i will upgrade as mildly as i possibly can for the intended purpose of the upgrade, however i know what the car's gonna do when i put em in, some people don't, which is why i made the thread.
as far as a t25 on ANY car, there's NO lag there anyways and the turbo's so tiny it becomes a restriction at high rpm anyways, but i'd put a t28 on there way before i spent the same money on cams.
Big Ass cams on anything but a motor making Big Ass power is a Big Ass waste of money in my opinion
big ass cams are TEH SUX!
.... unless N/A...then they are TEH SEX!.....with naaaaaawwwsss!
good point @ Def
