I need to buy a set of adjustable cam gears. The no-name brands on eBay look good but when it comes to actually putting them on a motor I spent so much time and money building, I just don't trust them. I've come to realize that with an LS/VTEC or B20/VTEC build, you just can't use stock gears. I cannot line up the marks for the life of me! Its always off by a little less than half a tooth.

I've heard bad things about AEM gears backing out, so I've been looking at the Buddy Club gears. How are these quality-wise? Do any of you have experience with the Buddy Club gears? The gold ones look sweet!

 

just get the skunk2 pro series

 

the skunk2 tuners are good but so expensive! over $200 anywhere you look. somebody on here must have used the buddy clubs, no? i'm looking for some feedback on those more than anything

 

get something with 6 bolts. not that aem 3 bolt crap

 

You're complaing about a whoppin $200 dollars after building a motor....come on kid, save your pennies for like another damn month. Jesus.

Expennsive + accurate = Toda

Cheap + accurate = Golden Eagle

 

those mFactory ones dont look bad. vernier style

 

Try to find the first generation Spoon cam gears (the ones made from factory gears). I couldn't find them in time for my build, but the newer style hasn't let me down.

 

toda or skunk pro. don't get the tuner series, they rub, the GE/crowers aren't bad either

 

thanks for the advice on that one i went with the mfactory's
well, kid... i see that you're an official mfactory retailer but since you were such a dick with your response i made sure to buy them from someone else!

thanks for the input guys

 

somehow, i dont think he cares. thats disco dan the cam man.

 

most likey why its half a tooth off is becuase the head/deck was milled.

 

the head was indeed milled. plus ls/vtec and b20/vtec timing is always a little bit off

 

The MFactory gears are great. If you haven't got them in yet, you'll see that the vernier system makes it really easy to set them up (assuming you're going to degree the cams).

 

maybe cams lobes are worn down, i know those piece of $h!t LS camshafts do that. new cams maybe

 

Regardless of which cam gears you choose, make sure to use some blue (low strength) Loctite on the bolts when you install them. A little bit on the main snout bolt as well as the adjustment bolts will make sure you don't have problems with bolts backing out.

 

get crower, my buddy has them and boy they are sexy!
