Re: adjustable cam sprocket

["Alex Ting" <alex@millenniumsolutions.net>]

Hey Aaron,

yeah, I know about the tri-y, but I got a very good
deal on the 4 in 1, and it has short primaries and
smaller diameter inlets and collector diameter.
So, I think it'll be ok for street use.
I do realize the sprocket just moves the hp/torque
around, but does it do it effectively?
If I advance it and move the peaks down, will it just
defeat the purpose of the headers and cam?

I've got the 5k TB on the way, now I just have to find
someone to port the manifold to match.......
