Mike,  get the car running the way it is supposed to before adding a cam
and, what I'm assuming you meant, adjustable sprocket.  Adding these now to
what may be a motor not running normally isn't going to help you, and may
even run worse.  Adding mods to a poorly running motor is definately not
going to cure it's problems.  But of course if it's something simple like
tire air pressure or driving style then go ahead with the mods.
