take the car to a dyno and tune it there. no two cars will have the same setting and yield the same results...

On a SOHC engine, an adjustable cam gear will allow you to move the power curve to a specific area in the rpm band as described above. Like moving your peak power on a high-revving Honda to max out at 4000 to 5000 rpm. Typically to improve bottom end power advancing a SOHC engine will do the trick and the converse is true to enhance top end power.


This is what SCC had to say and I find their info to be reputable.
