Atomic Vernier Cam Sprockets

Total Timing Control for 1000HP+ Builds

The Problem

The factory VCT system was designed to cope with much less valvetrain load than high performance engines produce as their focus was on minimising rotational power loss and maximising fuel efficiency. When upgrading valve springs, increasing lift and modifying other engine components, the valvetrain load increases beyond where the factory VCT system can maintain stable, timely control of the camshaft timing. This loss of control could lead to piston to valve contact in the worst case but generally manifests as DTC codes, check engine lights or timing system rattle. 

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Factory VCT phasers are unreliable with upgraded cams. Once you upgrade to stiffer springs and higher lift cams, the factory VCT gears often fail to reach or hold their target position against the extra load. This causes inconsistent power, check engine lights (error codes), and the dreaded VCT rattle.

The Atomic Solution

Atomic Vernier Sprockets are the ultimate fixed-timing solution. Designed to completely replace the failure-prone VCT system, they utilize 12.9 grade high tensile bolts and our custom billet Belleville Washer system to lock your timing in place securely, eliminating the risk of bolt loosening under high-RPM harmonics.


Includes Intake and Exhaust Adjustable Sprockets.

Watch: Precision manufacturing in action.

2. Engineered for Accuracy

We designed these gears to be robust enough for 1500hp+ drag cars while remaining precise enough for street tuning.

  • Precision Machining: Features a chamfered gear teeth profile to significantly reduce noise, wear, and vibration.
  • Stepped ID Design: Internal diameters are stepped to ensure perfect concentricity, preventing gear misalignment.
  • Large Adjustment Range: Enough range to cover all engine setups and powerband goals.
  • VCT Elimination: These are NOT VCT compatible. They are designed to delete the system entirely for maximum reliability.

My 22 year-old grandson was incredibly happy with this gift!
Format: Paperback
I can't write a meaningful review of the content of this book, because I don't begin to understand it, however, it was one of the things my grandson requested for his 22nd birthday, and he seemed thrilled to get it and he tells me it's a great book, so I can say whole heartedly, this is a terrific birthday gift for anyone who's into computer games.

More Theory than Actionable Advice on Game Design
Format: Paperback
Not a bad book, but not what I expected going in. I read this for a bookclub like event on twitch. I thought there was going to be actionable advice. Like 'do X to make Y feel". The introduction points out that the book is not about the emotional feelings a player receives from games, and this is true. The book DOES provide a language for discussing game design at a more academic level. It is about the theory of how a game feels, and while I didn't agree with everything Steve wrote it was easy enough to follow the thoughts.

MUST HAVE for game devs
Format: Paperback
Fantastic book about the theories of what makes a game feel good and fun to play. I'd be doing the author a disservice if I attempted to explain it myself, just purchase the book and read it for yourself. Written very well and easy to understand even while going into very complex and intricate explanations. I'd say that this is a must have for any game developer. Hell, even for those who are just interested in learning more about games.
