    Interesting. I feel like there's more torque with these cams everywhere in the band. But maybe the retard gears and new headers are helping with an overall increase.

    I apologize. I meant that I can feel a difference with the Kelford cams and OEM intake gears, versus static gears.

    Just to make sure I’m not over thinking this. Is this how you guys installed the new springs. With these new caps then retainer caps on top?

    No the new little caps/washers go on the bottom. Take out the washers that are already there with a magnet.

    I keep running into missing ingredients. Gotta go to The dealer tomorrow To get the right sealant for the timing cover. Uses a coolant-proof sealant around where coolant flows. I should hurry up though, colder days are coming.

    I actually took my gears back off. Data log showed less air moved with them when paired with these Kelfords (minimally less).
    It appears Kelford did there homework to optimize them

    Nobody ever uses it tho. It's uh, spendy. 999 out of 1000 techs just use the regular FIPG for the whole cover.

    As an additional alternative. The Mr. Gasket 1 minute gasket maker works well for both oil and coolant.

    Thanks for the helpful advise. I had bought the gears before the cams. Off they come. Maybe on a future engine if I destroy these cams.

    now onto Napa for some Mr gasket.

    Does this include low/mid range? Kelford did say when I talked to them on the phone that they thought the combination would result in more mid-range but less high end.
