I'll do a little modifying to the gear so it can be attached with a flat head Allen bolt and a thick flat washer, instead of a press fit. Advancing the cam produces more low end torque (what I'm building for) while retarding it makes more top end HP. The restrictive manifolds and ports of the 848 head makes that a lost cause because of poor volumetric efficiency at high RPM. Jerry
