OBX products don't actually work. There LSD kits are the only things that actually work. Lets say cam gears; they might look same stock or any aftermarket but on the dyno show differ. Thats why you never see any magazine do testing on obx because it's just looks.

Now the type your going for is depending on your set as off n/a or turbo. What it's working with like throttle body, intake side, stuff like depending on your tune. What I did was called all these manufactures about what your doing and they should be a great help.

yo know that...they're adjustable right?

so if they slap them on outta the box it won't really make a difference.

Ive heard really bad stuff about OBX on about every product they make. Pretty useless stuff I guess. Thats why you see alot of really cheap OBX products on ebay.

Obx says it adjustable but it's not even dyno proven. There LSD are the only thing being sold and used. Circuit track runners use them because it's good einoth for one time run right? All other items are just mainly looks. Don't waste your money on items like this and call around for them hp numbers or you will regret buying that item.

do you even understand how cam gears work? saying a particular set of cam gears are dyno proven to make power is as worthless as saying an AEM EMS is dyno proven to make power. they are all tools to faciliate better fine tuning of your engine and its parts

but basically what you are stating is that an OBX cam gears rotated to -1 deg is not equal to a well known brand cam gear rotated to -1 deg. right on genius

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always heard that for a Skunk2 IM to be effective you have to have an aftermarket TB.
