Are those ADJUSTABLE GM cam gears?

The only ones I've been able to find are at RSM Racing... anyone been able to find any others?

Yup, adjustable, you can get them straight from the dealer, I didn't know RSM was selling them. My guess is they are GM ones anyway but I'm not sure. <br>

i've been looking into this head...by far the best complete deal i've found. keep us informed on it. <br>

Cost of mods: $2500
Number of headaches during install: Too many to count
Look on your face when you realized you got beat by a Cavalier: PRICELESS

Sorry I forgot about this thread. I have been getting codes ever since I had it installed, we played with the timing gears a bit and that got rid of the codes. But then I went to the track this past weekend and now I'm getting more codes again.
The car feels good but track times haven't improved significantly other than a CAI I installed, plus the car sounds like @!#$ over 5000rpms now. I dunno what to do, basically I'm may look to cams from somewhere else. Maybe just wait for the Ecotec SC from GM, that's maybe what I should have done in the first place.
I'm gonna talk to JBP first to see what they have to say. <br>

What octane gas you using?
Re: JPB ecotec Head - Here We Go!!

What sort of profile did you use for the cams? Have you tried setting the cam gears to 0*?

I think its JBP's stage 1 grind, I can't remember what it is off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure its on their site. We haven't tried 0* yet but that will like be the next setting, since I'm gonna get the GM SC (whenever it comes out). <br>

Wow... sorry to hear that...

I have a milder grind from Comp Cams and with a little P&P work, I have roughly 150+ WHP... I have other mods too, obviously, but I have had no codes...
