Im building a new motor setup... And a friend of mine has a set of OBX cam gears...

Im wonderin if they are any good... I know OBX is junk, but their LSD's are good. I was gonna just replace the bolts in the cam gears and call it a day....

anyone runnin these?

 

from what i have heard of the obx cam its not worth it. If i were you spend your money wisely and get a comp cam/ zex cam. I know you are shoping on ebay to have found that obx cam. they have comp cam/ zex cam on ebay for 212.00 its worth it. That is what i recently put in my car stage 1 worth the money. but if you are rebuilding the whole motor get the stage 2 and springs and retainer. YOu wont be disappointed with it. obx is junk. dont do that cam its a waste of money

 

Not looking at the OBX cam at all..... wouldnt ever buy something like a cam from OBX...

a cam gear is simple though..

 

I am all for saving money in areas that you can get away with--but with cam gears, if the "teeth" profile doesn't match the belt perfectly (like stock) you have a greater chance of having a belt slip or wear out prematurely, plus you don't know how true they spin--Look at the UGR cam gears, they are 5 bolt unlike the OBX which I believe is 3--they are Skunk 2 copies--and last I checked for d-series it was like $60 for one.

 

these are 5 bolt, which is why i figured they would be ok
