I have the S3 cams, jwt ecu and adjustable cam gears. I would like to move the power band down alittle bit. The car pulls like train above 4800 I just would like a little more in the 2000-3500 range. So my question is were should I set the gears at or is it just a waste of time.

thanx

Don't quote me on this but I think you retard the intake cam by itself or advance the exhaust cam by itself or advance both.

Trouble is, the cams you have can't be juggled enough to fill in the hole down low. That's the nature of the beast. You rob from Peter (low-end torque) to pay Paul (top-end horsepower).

I suppose you could bump the displacement 10%.
