CAMS/ADJUSTABLE CAM GEARS

Is that a mistake? Don't you mean HKS? Hell no! We got the sparks flyin' high on the cam grinder machine and now can offer you a near spittin' mirror image of HKS's popular Mitsu cam grinds at half the cost. Yep...you heard right!

These grinds are the newest addition to our line-up. It's the closest thing you're going to get to bolting on "HKS style" power but without the BS of inflated cost and/or nationwide backordering. Your ship has come home...and this boat isn't full of rice and ramens.

Our Number 1 question that is pitched to us about these cams, "Can I install these straight up?"

Answer: Although HKS cams do degree in friendly, they are not always "deadnuts" and zeroed right out of their boxes to YOUR motor. EVERY motor we have built needed some amount of degreeing to make PERFECT phase between crank and cams. Lots of factors involved here folks such as the amount of material shaved off the head, headgasket thickness, block deck height to the crank centerline, cam profile production tolerances, and variances in valvetrain geometry all affect phasing. Remember, we're talking about a vast majority of the parts within a motor are cast pieces. Nothing is perfect. Nothing is consistent.

Now, having good consistency in cam specs from one cam to the next is most important and HKS is always on their game. Crower's cams were a close second in grind tolerance...Web's was at the bottom of the barrel. What a big surprise.

Perhaps you're in individual who could care less about "zero degrees", doesn't want to screw around with the egg-head science, and just wants to bolt-on, go race, and be nasty? We can relate to your enthusiasm so being as it may, with all things considered, and with the tight tolerances that HKS cams possess...

YES, YOU CAN INSTALL THESE STRAIGHT UP. These cams follow the same profile as HKS cams along with having the same exercised quality control in each "stick". Each cam cut is exactly like the last. In other words, if HKS camshafts have it, so do these.

Our Number Two question most often asked, "Do I need upgraded springs in order to run these cams?"

Our final answer: In our personal experience, ANY kind of cam sold out there no matter what the profile is, would greatly benefit from using stiffer than OEM springs. Smoother power curves, a more linear powerband, raised peak power levels at higher RPMs, and less chance of valve bounce (which is a HP killer) is enhanced by the usage of some sort of upgraded spring kit. Of course, higher control of the valve event will more so keep float from rearing its ugly head.

So, to get back to the question, we recommend an upgraded spring kit not only for the reasons mentioned above but also to fully utilize what the cams themselves can do.

Can you still run these cams even though your cash allotment for a spring kit was spent on alimony, bail bonds, or maybe even college tuition? If you must do it that way, then take it easy with your motor...don't rev to the moon.

We most fittingly label these grinds: D-K-S

DSM DKS1

You're in the market for the time-tested and proven HKS 264/272 combination? This is what you get. You can't go wrong.

INTAKE

Max Valve Lift: .397"

Duration @ .050": 183 crank degrees

Centerline: 102 degrees

EXHAUST

Max Valve Lift: .379"

Duration @ .050": 192 crank degrees

Lobe Center: 102 degrees

Note: The specs above were taken directly from the cam itself using Cam Analyzer v3.2 software...not an estimation of "what it should be" like HKS prints in their spec sheet. Keep in mind that the numbers represented above are at .050" tappet lift...not 1mm like HKS uses. Changing the tappet lift number will affect certain criteria such as duration and valve events. We use real world, "more-friendly" usable numbers when measuring this stuff. Not "advertised" duration or fluffed figures. Compare smartly.

NOW INCLUDED WITH EACH DKS PURCHASE...

THE OFFICIAL DKS STICKER!

These aren't a cheap freebie Cousin Clyde bumper sticker either. Cut on high-quality vinyl to last 5-7 years in the worst "beat on hard" weather environments. Color options will be given in the cart. We give you TWO stickers...not one...just to keep things symmetrical.

Show what you brung with pride! Booyah!

For all the 97-99 car owners out there, we now offer a drill and tap service for the intake cam. Only 25 bucks extra! This option will be given in the cart.

$297.00  DKS1  (intake/exhaust)

OUT OF STOCK INDEFINITELY!

Note: There will be a $60.00 core charge applied automatically by our racecart. We had to raise this core charge as no one was that motivated to return their cores to us at the previous core charge price we had established. This is a fully refundable charge once we receive your GOOD cam cores within 20 days of invoice date. We can also apply this to in-store credit if you wish. What are good cores? No scratched/scored/rust pitted journals, fractures of any kind, and no heavy grooves at the cam seal area. Rusty lobes are "OK" but not pitted.

Includes a full ONE YEAR WARRANTY!

FIDANZA ADJUSTABLE CAM GEARS

We have been waiting a long time for these pups and Fidanza filled the bill with their new, innovative, and very affordable cam gears.

Manufactured from the same material as their track-proven flywheels (6061 T6), they feature a coal blasted belt surface (for better grip), then hard anodized for increased durability.

What separates these gears from the rest? Try this one on for size. The outer ring is retained to the inner ring not by the usual screw method but by incorporating stainless steel studs! Not 3...but 5 so rest assured that your cam won't fly right off its timing or even worse, your piston shakes hands with your valves. The studs are Loc-Tited on the backside and the inner gear is secured with lock washers and nuts. Say goodbye to putting the ol' stress-ola on soft aluminum threads when torqueing down these nuts. Studs are where it's at. Also, for the 95-96 cars out there, no modifications are necessary for the gear to work with your cam angle sensor. Just bolt 'er on!

Here you will notice that it has a full 24 degrees of range from left to right which is the widest adjustment range possible in adjustable cam gears sold today. Quite handy if your crank/cam relationship is excessively out of phase for "zeroing" in.

Here is its backside that shows off the 5 Lock-Tited allen heads on the outer gear. That outer ring aint goin' nowhere once you crank those nuts down.

Whether you think you can't afford them or simply say, "those are for the trailer queens out there", we are telling you that not only are they an absolute must not only when degreeing in your cams for proper phasing at time of doing that motor rebuild, but also allows you to play around with your torque curve to peak exactly where you want it to or even widen your lobe separation for better spool if necessary. This will compliment your cams greatly which in turn will make...you guessed it...POWER. Top it all off by making your motor look like it just donned a tux and they are affordably priced to boot!

$250.00/pair (intake/exhaust)
