To retard the timing with a gear...
What exactly is involved for NITROUS? If you were to use a cam gear, which cam should you turn and which way? Should the other be left alone or be turned the opposite direction? I realize we would need to have a sprocket on the other end, but for nitrous, can we retard both cams with the gear since they are linked and be ok?
If you are retarding the exhaust gear, the intake cam would rotate the same direction and be retarded at the same rate, correct?
Ok, I'm gettting a headache now.

we only have one cam gear on the exhaust cam. the intake cam is timed through a chain on the exhaust cam sproket. this makes adjustable cam gears almost impossible on betas, since we only have one cam gear.

what the hell is going on in here?
JONGTR... put the bong away
throw this idea out... unless you want valves hitting pistons... DONT DO THIS
IGNITION TIMING IS INVOLVED WITH NITROUS NOT CAM TIMING

But aren't you supposed to retard the cams also in forced induction to create a stronger burn? So, you're telling me that we can buy a large perf. cam that advances timing and throw it in any T/SC/N2O engine? I think not. Advancing timing is not always the best effect no matter which way you go.IGNITION TIMING IS INVOLVED WITH NITROUS NOT CAM TIMING
I beleive you are supposed to create less exhaust overlap with nitrous.

Jon... u up to your old tricks again? what is that hamster wheel in your head making you think about now? Must be that new KORE cam gear thats got you all tied up in knots. U DONT NEED IT!!! tongue.gif What u gotta do is fill that bottle up and stop procrastinating. Retard or advance timing all u want, u aint goin nowhere with that empty bottle wink
BTW, got your email about the pulleys....
