    Yes he emailed me Monday morning and said he had a bunch to catch up on and would be in touch in a couple days. Hes been out for over 3 weeks lol. Sounds like a good company to work for.

    I’m excited tho. I hope turn around time is fast. Taking my heads apart soon and want to polish up the runners a bit. And get them all ready for the cams.

    I have the UCON retard gears on my exhaust. There's certainly no interference but power band differences I can't comment on yet. I'm waiting for a new pulley and alternator so I can do both belts... so, the supercharger belt hasn't gone back on yet. Having an issue with lean spikes at idle too that I need to figure out.

    Tuned on the Ucon I guess you had to keep the exhaust cam gears. That’s really what the ucon is specifically tuned for. Wonder how much difference the stock vs the 3* gears show pertaining to the power differences on the low vs high end. My guess would be its not going to be huge difference.

    Looking forward to seeing rwhp levels to all these TRD SC engines and kelford cams!! :thumbsup:

    From looking at before and after data on a S/C truck with a 2.6” pulley, I can say the difference isn’t “huge” but it will allow you to get more aggressive with the tune.

    if I had to take a WAG, 15hp?

    Pretty much yes. I doubt it would be 20hp. Feels similar to dropping one pulley in size is the best way I could describe it but that isn't a good description for a NA guy. You could say it feels like how you would want a new high flow intake or cat-back to feel but rarely actually feel.

    Urd website says either you can't or shouldn't run cams with cam gears. Didn't give an explanation as to why though

    *ding* *ding* *ding*

    But it goes without saying, if you're installing cams, it's your responsibility to ensure your valve train is appropriate for your needs and has the appropriate clearances.

    So then why does everyone state low range improvement from installing the 3degree exhaust gears

    The grind (Lift, Duration, LSA, Overlap) of the stock cams is different than that of the Kelfords.
