to be honest, i'm not sure which are the best, but i would not recommend going with the AEM units. they only employ the usage of three bolts and many here on h-t have had problems with them slipping ( ). just my two cents. good luck.

A lot of people would say AEM gear suck because of the three bolt design. Skunk2 makes good cam gears. Skunk2 makes good everything.

i dont think there is a difference, but the difference is the dyno tuning and the shop who dyno's your gears...

Make sure you get a dyno, or they are useless

i use the skunk2 gears. 6 bolts hold em. just consider this..the more bolts holding it in place...the better. aem has a history of slipping..so skunk2 and dc sports ones have like 5 and 6 respectivly. but its your money....buy what you like.

If I had to choose between SKUNK2 and AEM, I would get the SKUNK2 (which is what I have now). But either one will not make much of a difference if you don't plan on tuning them on a dyno. If you really want to get your money's worth, I suggest TODA or Spoon. I regret getting the SKUNK2's. Should have saved and spent the extra cash for the TODA or SPOON.
whats so special about TODA or SPOON? they arent all that greater than SKUNK2s.

only thing special about toda or spoon gears is that they say Toda and spoon

actually the Toda gears swear they are the most accurate. 3 bills for some damn cam gears tho..not worth it

haha I know probably gettin it for the name Toda and Spoon lolz. But then I'd rather invest my money in Skunk2 vs AEM. Skunk2 is much more secure than AEM 3 bolt design Do what you want its your money
