i own a shop and they work really good ,but if you don't have a degree wheel to attach to the bottom pulley and know when its setting at exactly top dead center its not going to help you very much,you need special tools to be able to set it other wise you,ll advance it to much,all the gear does it get it close to top dead center ,and they work good,and will add power to it,but you need a good way to know exactly where no-1 piston is at before you try to set this,good luck i hope this helps.

*If* you can get it adjusted correctly (always a challenge) you *might* get a slight increase in HP at the cost of economy. It really isn't worth the money. Everyone I know who has tried it has eventually taken it off.
