cams???

Is there a low rpm cam out there that is better than stock??? Will adjustable cam gears on stock cams help me on getting better low end power???

The stock cams are generally geared towards lowend power. So I don't know of any available cam swaps that would gain you low-end power. As far as I've read, all the aftermarket cams have more overlap which will cost you some low-end response. However, 3sx, GTPro, and Dynamic Racing all sell street and race cams...so perhaps a street cam upgrade would be what you are looking for. I don't think the low-end difference will be huge and I would imagine the mid and upper range from even a moderate cam upgrade would be obviously noticeable.

I highly suggest you read this thread ON page 2, Jeremy C reposts a great writeup on cams which will ultimately help you choose one that will fit your needs.

I haven't actually researched the cams available very much, because frankly they aren't something I'm planning on upgrading anytime soon. However, I personally, would steer clear of any regrinds. And I would also probably lean more towards DR cams than 3sx or GTPro. If memory serves me correctly, you have 15Gs...perhaps you should call Matt at DR and talk about what you want exactly, and see if the street cams fit the bill.

This post lists the specs on all the cams available at the time (back in '04) I cannot attest to it's accuracy, but if it's accurate, that's some good info to have.

Adjustible cam gears wont change lift or duration...only overlap, by advancing or retarding timing on intake and exhaust valves. So perhaps that maybe something of interest to you. By removing 4-8 degrees of overlap that would probably help low end power...but again, there is no solid benefit throughout the powerband. This is one of those mods where you give a little and take a little based on rpm. Thread on them here
