Best Answer

Installing a larger cam will allow more fuel and air into the combustion chamber to make a more powerful BOOM in the cylinder. (May have to change fuel injectos as well)

How do you adjust the valve timing in most cars?

It depends if it is an OHV(pushrod motor) or a s.o.h.c./d.o.h.c. motor. Ohv engines can have a timing chain set that allow for adjustment, to be installed. You can also install crank keyways that adjust the timing by moving the crank cam gear the required degree/s. Overhead cam engines can have cam gears installed that allow for cam adjustments.
