Well I did a simple test on my 1979, (single Overhead cam 2.0 liter) By
setting the cam timing at stock, and setting signtion at stock,  the
engine has its strongest pull from 3500-5500 RPM's
	when setting cam timing off one tooth, the curve moved down atbout
1500 RPM,s so that max seat-of-your-pants power was felt from 2000-4000
RPM,  moving the cam the "other" direction from stock by one tooth, made
the power band shift up to about 5000+ ( I won't rev the motor over 6200
RPM), 
igntion timing was set at STOCK for all tests. No fuel modifications were
made.  the engine has bosch K-jetronic (CIS inhjection) with NO feedback.


I am currently trying to design a variable valve timing system that will
automatically advance the cam timing throughout the RPM band, so as to
stretch  the power curve out from 2000 to 5000+.  My main problem is the
cam driven distributor which I am hoping to remove with the advent of the
EFI332 system. ( ignition part..)
