hey guys i just purchased a mach with a vortech s trim. i know blower cams would be optimal because of the lsa, but if these would still be a good upgrade in the future. all ive ever seen were adjustable cam gears for the main gear, does anybody make adjustable secondary gears? that would allow me to adjust the lsa on the cams making the cobra 98 cams work a little better.

What do you mean by adjusting the lsa? The lsa is ground into the cam and can not be adjusted. You can however adjusted centerline angle that the cam is installed at by advancing or retarding the cam.

Also their is more to blower cam then just lsa. Every part of the VE should be looked at when choosing blower cams. Just thought I would put that out their.

i thought lobe seperation was the amount of degrees difference between the intake and exhaust lobe hence why it determines over lap. so if you could adjust the intake and exhaust cam you should be able to adjust lsa? maybe im not remembering correctly.
