IMO stay away from AEM.... If your going to upgrade your fuel rail dont go with AEM.. The size is small.... Go with a edlebrock or golden eagle.... Also AEM, SK2, Spoon, Toda, Buddy club, all those brands have small timing marks.... If you want cam gears again go with golden eagle.... Look at the timing marks on those gears compared to all the others... They are more spaced out and you can get the most gain....

Why is a cam gear that has spaced out timing marks better? You're saying that worse resolution is better?

Its better because they give you more room to play with the timing.... On the Aem if you want to move a little it can be a pain in the *** to move it just a small amount...

AEM (and similar) gears are marked per degree for +/- 1/2 tooth. If you want more than 5 degrees, you can just move the timing belt forward or backward by a tooth.
The Golden Eagle gear appears to be marked in increments of 1/2 tooth. What if you just want a 2 degree adjustment?
I have an AEM gear, and it is not difficult to move the gear by one degree.
