stock. because the guy i got my cams from said you can mess with them all you want, we did for 6 hours and made 6hp. for that time, turn up the boost was his response.

i know i should degree in my setup, but so far they are fine.

We have one BDL and one GE cam gear. The BDL thread size is smaller; after checking the cam centerlines several times this year, the threads stripped on one. The GE cam gear uses a larger bolt and is more reliable when you have to loosen/tighten the fasteners a lot. The GE gears are also easier to read.

The 5 bolt AEM gears work well. We prefer a cam gear that has a hex head bolt as opposed to an allen key bolt. Allens are so easy to strip and to me it just seems more logical, GE gears also have them I believe.

I have BDL cam gears and never had an issue with them. Did you try contacting BDL about your issue?

I've used the Golden Eagle ones for a really really long time now. Had a few different sets on a few different engines. They work great for me. Easy to read, look good, hold up, and are a little cheaper than a few others.

I've heard a lot of bad things about the pro-series gears breaking lately.

Skunk2 Pro series but changed the bolts cause they didnt even go half the thread. Ran the bolts from the back side hex head style and a nlocking nut on the outside. warks great had them for like 3 years now.

Sent you a PM

Here's a Picture of our cam-gears off of a customers build.


The serrated design of the Bisimoto Cam gears does not allow for slippage and we have even tested it to 11,000+rpm with no slippage.

Bisimoto cam gear here. Awesome quality and the interlocking serations between the parts definately dont allow for any slippage.
