You don't need the vernier adjust for a road motor. It is useful when you
are
using a rolling road dyno to optimise the HP for a competition motor and
chasing the last few HP by fine tuning the cam timing. This is impractical
($$$ on the dyno) unless you have the vernier adjustment. Even for comp
cars, most people just use the offset key type of adjustable sprockets. That
is personally what I'd recommend.
