    I just installed some of jackhammers. Non adjustable pre drilled and set ones. I will be dynoing next week on the same dyno I made 439 on a few months ago. So far all I can tell you about the butt dyno is it reminds me kind of of that first cool morning of fall when it comes alive. Hopefully the mustang will back up my butt. (that really doesn't sound right). Pretty reasonably priced too.

    That will get you in the ballpark. Without being able to adjust them, you won't get them 100% nor will you be able to degree in the engine. But it will probably get you 75% there.

    I would stay away from the Fidanza's I have seen far too many of them slip. Go with the UR gears, I have been using them on cars for 10 yrs and have never seen a set slip. How much are you valve work to you? and if thy slip and you bend them all a huge pile of labor. Do it right the first time and forget about it.

    As stated on the 3si thread on cam gears, I have yet to see 3sx gears slip. And for a few cents you can always drill and nut/bolt lock them down.

    Interesting, my Fidanza ones have been sweet. Loctite them with removable threadlocker and torque to recommended settings.
