I've the stock 790, freak, and the long TOR's. If I advance the cam 1 tooth I decrease the valve overlap, and increase the low & mid range of the motor. If I go the other way & retard the cam 1 tooth I increase the valve overlap & increase top end but sacrifice low end. if I leave it alone nothing changes I'm doing the shims now & this is the time to make the change.

Jojje, the wild turbo Swede, has posted dyno results and this works well for the 790cc motors. edited cause I am stupid.... Last edited by Dinqua; 02/17/2007 11:18 AM.

But there still have been good results with the exhaust cam advancing one tooth. A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice. Pat
