Alright so I just bought a 318 and I've been doing some reading on it. So somewhere I saw that you can adjust the intake cam for some hp gain. Does anybody know how much a shop would charge, is it really worth it and how significant are the gains? Thanks

.02, don't waste the cash on it. Get all of your maintenance done, and start saving to replace the timing components if they haven't been replaced yet. Put the money towards an oil pan gasket, and take it off to look for loose bolts. Meow.

Timing chains were recently done. What loose bolts are you talking about, on the oil pan itself?

you can advance your exhaust cam to get a little more torque. makes it feel like a bigger engine. +6 degrees here makes a noticeble difference. I do it to build boost a little faster, but thats just me.
advance the timing and adjust by yourself. its easy.Comment
