I'm running the AEM Tru-Time gears.. never had a problem. The 3 bolt design isn't too bad at all, because the 3 bolts are actually bigger than the bolts in the 5 bolt cam gears.

What motor are you working with? P30s are good, but the CTRs will yield more compression... all depends on what you're putting them in.

Sorri i didn't give enought info. I'm working with a GSR motor, i'm leanin toward the p30 caues i'm worried about how high the compression is going to bump up to, plus i still want to be running on 91 oct. gas

good call.

i run the tru-time gears without ever having them slip. Steph runs them in his drag car so i think you'll be safe

p30 are good....

as far a cam gears i think generally if you can have a 5 or 6 the load is better distributed and would be a little bit safer as far a slippage goes....but if some people are telling you from experience that 3 bolts gears are fine then maybe they are right too
