You wont see as big of a gain with an adj cam gear without a more aggressive cam. You can install it and set the gear to 0 and you will be fine, no more power then stock, but you can drive like that untill you can afford to get it tuned right.

There are two ways to tune an adj cam gear, either on the dyno or you can degree it with the correct tools(see the Link ('http://www.automotivearticles.com/123/Degreeing_Camshafts.shtml')). Obviously tuning on the dyno is less complicated then manually degreeing your cams. But you have options, a reputable shop should be able to do it both ways.

BTW, if you are not FI or heavily modded NA, you probably will not see many gains with the gear. Also being stock you will suffer on either the high end or lower end powerband as SOHC cars can only tune for one or the other with an adj cam gear.

If you are running rich, you should correct it by leaning out the SAFC if your running one :wink:
