what do you guys think are good cam gear for a d16z6?? i already got i/h/e now i want a good set of cam gear. after this iam not going to dump any more money into this SOHC and how about price on the cam gear?

and plz dont say DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR MONEY. let me do what i wanna do. what are you gonna buy my sawp??

 

 

skunk 2 $100 @inlinefour.com

 

I had AEM on my D16..It was good.I've heard Skunk2 is quite good as well...

 

so which one aem or skunk2. i can get a used aem one for 70 bucks. is that a good price?

 

Yes.I paid 115 new or something like that..

 

I've heard nothing really bad about the aem ones, but someone mentioned that with the 3 locks versus say like the 6 on the skunk, it tends to score the metal because you torque them so much, 3 has more chance of slipping then 6 imo. Then again, 70 is nice to pick it up since its over 100 new.

Also, has anyone bought from inlinefour before? that price for the skunk2 sohc cam gear is nice, i need to dial in my camshaft, im wasting power atm.

skunk2

 

skunk all the way...
i've heard of too many AEM cam gears bolts that strip really easly.

 

thanks.ill go to my local shop and ask how much they can get me the skunk2. would i need tuning when i install the cam gear? what eles should i do while im at it???

 

bump

 

i'm not gonna say not to waste your money, but the cam gear itself isn't really gonna net you any gains without a cam. and unless you have a dyno to tune on, it is really difficult and pointless to adjust the cam. trust me im not hating on d16s or nething, cuz i have one myself, but the best bet would actually be to save up a lil more and get a good cam and keep the stock cam. trust me you will feel the difference with the zex cam. and i guarantee it will make a more significant difference than an untuned cam gear. good luck with your sohc man

 

oh yea, while ur at it, u mite as well change ur timing belt and water pump if its time to do so.
