I have the JWT 270 cams and with the JWT adj cam gears,
ben at Jim Wolf told me to set the gears at 2 deg negitive on the intake and 2 deg postive on the exhaust, he said it would keep the motor from getting to hot. That sounds good to me. :)

Does anyone know what boost levels (psi) the cam gears should start to be used at? You don't get overlap until you run into higher boost levels correct? Is there a way to tell when you should start using them?

what is the difference between the 3 bar and 4 bar fuel set up in the computer. ? i have the 4 bar program ! i know it is the amount of fuel pressure but how does that effect the cars tuning?

yeah, we do need to meet up, I think we need to have a SE-R meet get a lot of cars to come, that would be cool. I have not been to Rockingham.
I don't know much about the 4 bar fuel system but, I know you can run a lot more boost with a 4 bar, I'm not sure how much boost the stock cast piston's will take. Be sure what you got will handle higher boost levels.;)

hey , for the s3 and the s4 cams you can use the stock settings to approximately 8.5 pounds of boost . at that time you will start to create too much overlap. The best setting to use for either set of cams is to retard the intake to setting A and advance the exhaust cam to setting 2. You will be able to up the boost to where ever you want with these settings
