Volvo 940/960 » Adjustable Cam Gear

Our cam gear provides the edge in performace for your B21, B23 or B230 engines from 1976-1992. Adjustable in 2.5 degree increments up to 10 degrees, either advance or retarded, and it weighs less than half the factory gear! A fixed single piece, this gear is adjusted by lining up the desired inscribed timing mark with the factory timing mark and placing the corresponding dowel hole on the cam. This should not be confused with ignition timing. By advancing the gear you will gain low end power at the expense of upper range power and by retarding the gear you will gain upper range power with a link reduction in low end power. This gear provides the widest range of adjustment from high RPM turning race engines to the big bore non turbo motors with lots of low end grunt!. Our gear is hard anodized for long lfe and tested for durability. A perfect match for our VX and Turbo performance camshafts or even use it with your stock cam.

this is the first product from ipd that i can say i am pleased with. i originally bought this because of the advertising claim that it weighs less than half the factory gear. in the case of my b230f, it weighs more than half the factory gear; however, the inertial moment turned out to be 48.8 percent of the factory gear's and that IS what really matters anyway. aside from that, i didnt find any performance gains by adjusting the cam timing. maybe that would work for you if youre running different pistons and you never installed an appropriate camshaft, or better yet if you have seperate intake and exhaust camshafts (i dont know maybe this would fit on the b234).

After installing the IPD Turbo cam, the adjustable cam gear gives back the low end torque the cam does away with...with little effect on top end!!
