Camshafts

[seeker1056]

I know that our cam gears are pressed on, but how are they indexed?
Is there a key or pin of some sort?
If a key has anyone played with advancing or retarding the camshaft for more performance with offset keys?
Is there a reason the cam couldnt be turned slightly to allow for a slip fit in the cam gear , and the end of the cam drilled for a bolt and retainer washer like a BB Ford so oen could pllay with cam timing?
If so it wouldnt be too hard to put a removable wwindow in the cam cover to facilitate easy changes
Thoughts
Thanx

The cam gears are pressed on, and they use a metric key, so you can use VP44 Injection pump offset keys to move the cam around if you would like. The adjustable gear is trick, but kind of a waste in my opinion unless you are going to run on an engine dyno, it would be a pain in the ass to try to change it around in the truck and once you get it where you want it you won't ever change it again anyways.

this is true 600 seems kinda high considerin all it is is a machined factory gear with a simple hub
