Default AEM vs ITR Cam Gears?

Which would you guys recommend for cam gears?

AEM Tru Time cam gears for like $120/set

Or

ITR cam gears (I am not sure on price, help would be appreciated)

IF

I am going to be going with ITR cams in my B16a?

You can't adjust the ITR cam gears, why would you want them?

I'd go for Toda Gen 2 Cam gears. They look nice and are very good!

I have s2 gears, which I also bought for $180 plus $10 shipping. They are very light and have 6 bolts. I did not get Spoon, Jun, eyc because they are made of steel and weigh too much and they will outlast my car which I do not care for. I sed the money I saved towards cams.

It might give u gains but what cam gears really do is shift the power band! Hence... better on track, giving you that punch out of corners etc...

AEM cams slip (trust me!!), If you get them you must (and I stress must) use loctite. If you use locite they won't slip. Hey I'm selling mine cause I'm buying todas If you want them give me an offer. I paid $100 each for them and their red
