CAM Gear Question

Hello, all.

I came across these CAM gears called "underground racing" also known as UGR came gears, and i was closely comparing them with the 6 bolt Skunk 2 cam gears, and could not find any differences. THEY ARE IDENTICAL. made of the same material, same size/shape. same degree lines and everything........... ditance between bolts.

Only difference is the brand stamp.

Any one ever use the UGR cam gears??? looking for info on them. No trying to cheap out or anything, just the price is awesome.

Im starting to think they come off the same assembly line and are stamped differently.

Your input?? I want to know more about these UGR gears.

Re: CAM Gear Question

all or MOST cam gears are made over seas color changes and then add "your name" here we did it too. those are the Skunk gears with a new name and away for them to sale more unit's.

Re: CAM Gear Question

Just be careful. They might look the same, but might be cheaper metal and fall apart.

Wow. You have awesome eyes that you can compare material compounds, sizes and dimensions without any testing or measuring.
