as for the vernier gear - we have spoken to lots of people, and have got lots of different answers. the majority from people who know the most seem to be that he doesn't need it. so he hasn't thrown it in. may do so in the future to make sure hes getting the most out of it however.[/quote]
That question was ment to be inregards to all cam shafts. Like say I purchase a Wade one now, will the improvements on my engine be better if I get a vernier cam gear aswell?[/quote]
depends on the grind & your engine (going on what i've been told) that is if your engine is really tired, then you'd be better off changing the timing chain so that you are able to advance/retard the cam correctly - i have a stage 2 crow cam, and have been told i wouldn't be gaining much by throwing the vernier gear in, as my cam is working very well as-is... |

so personly i say no don't do it.
but thats just me, and i'll never buy an other cam from wade. |
I thought we'd come to an amicable agreement when we offered to replace your cam with another grind of your choosing at no charge. We haven't heard from you since.

WADE CAMS |
i know i havn't gotten back to yet and i'm not saying your product is not worth buying or is of poor quality. I sold the cam onto some one who put it in and EF GLI and they saw an improvment. so i can't fault the cam at all and it would have been a waste to send it back only for you to find nothing wrong with the cam.
i personly wouldn't put a 1004 in an XR6 but do recommend them for the standard engine. I the comment about not buying from you again, is the same opinion i have of CROW CAMS after they cost me about $3000 buy suplying the wrong information about vavle springs for a cam in my escort 1600. (ended in valve bounce 2000RPM befor the upper limmit of the cams power band)
that engine was the reason i got my last cam from you. but just like crow cams the promise was not delivered and as such i will try other options next time.
I would like to say that your customer service is one of the best i have delt with in the performance aftermarket, and i do recommend your products to other people. |

for just under 130 thats excellent value |
a power increase is pointless if it doesn't translate in to better on track performance |

Do you have that as a .JPG ?
Can you e-mail it to duckboy_01@hotmail.com
Otherwise what is the difference? is there less power anywhere in the rev range and what is the max power @ RPM? |
