Im planning on getting "Cam Gears" which to get for most gain?

What are the best cam gears for a 92 Acura Integra LS?I was looking into AEM and Skunk2 are they good brands to go with?I want the most gain for a good price...

Where sells cam gears for cheap? And how much HP gain am i looking into with E/H/CAI and Cam Gears?

You're not likely to get much of a gain unless you get new cams also. The stock cams should be dialed in to the optimal degree from the factory. If you do get gears though, I would make sure it has more than three spokes. You don't want those things slipping on you.

Its not the gears,its the tuning done once you get the gears.Stock cam sprockets cannot be adjusted,aftermarket can therefor can be tuned for HP gains.Not much with stock cams but with aftermarket nice gains.

The factory cam timing is tuned from the factory with both performance, and emmisions in mind. Small gains can be seen from the addition of cam gears.
Just make sure to get some with sturdy adjusting bolts as mentioned above.
The more bolts the better.(generally speaking)

try skunk 2 or aem, if you have the money get the todas, the timing marks are etched into the gears so they will never rub off.

THAT is what you want...

easy..

Cam gears are basically the same except.....

1. you want one with marks that won't rub off
2. more than just 3 bolts in case you get mad power.. they might slip w/ 3 bolts and make sure they are tight...
3. gains from i/h/e AND cam gears are possible.. ( i got about 15 whp out of mine at the time.. Greddy intake, greddy header, greddy exhaust, cusco cam gears)...

dyno before was 145 and after tuning was 164.... dyno was performed at DPR before they went on vacation.

good question.... plain and simpely put... half decent thread..

I give this one, although covered alot in the past..



dont get the AEM or other cheap ones.. I know a couple that had them slip.. (the three bolt kind)

I'll be installing my AEM cam gears with my 62404's... or at least this was the plan. Would I be better gonig another route? I don't expect to be laying down more than about 200 for now... no more than 300 for a long time. Thanks
