Which ones give you the most horsepower? Just kidding.

I need opinions on which cam gears to purchase for my B-series and
you know how everyone has their story '' cam broke when I was tightening it'' or
'' key hole deformed '' or '' '' hex bolt stripped''.

Quality, fit and finish.

Who has played with their cam gears enough to know the [i]most [i]''trouble free''
gear out there on the market?

 

im using a set of crower cam geas. they have been on the engine for 5 or 6 years now no issues with slipping or stripping the bolt out. they acutally use bolts instead of gay allen keys.

 

ive had the best luck with skunk2 pro and the golden eagle ones

 

No problems with my Golden Eagle gears, going on 3 years now. Nice quality, look good, easy to read scale.

 

How about those 5 bolt BDL gears?

 

GE or STR gears have a much easier to read scale. I like my GE's much better than my Skunk2 gears because of that.

 

GE

Isn't STR = BDL now ?

 

AEM 5 Bolts since 2 year no problem on my B18C
my buddy on his B16A bought a cheap Vision Motorsport an ebay very hard to put on the camshafts, i had to use plastic hammer
one of the horizontal mark on the pulley is off has an offset of 1 teeth found the problem when I check with the stock ones

It could be, I just saw a set of the STR's in a local shop and they have the same type of scale as the GE's. It's much easier for me to use that type of scale on the dyno than it is to use the tiny little marks on the Skunk2 and other gears. But I am old and my eyes are bad, so maybe others are fine with them.

 

i really like my GE gears

 

I use Full-Race Gears, besides the Allen Screws rusting out in a weeks time I have no complaints, they work well and look good.
