AEM - only three bolts which may lead to slippage

Skunk2 - some experience timing marks off and not that accurate

I don't want to spend too much on the cam gears b/c all I need them for is adjustability over stock. So what do you guys recommend?? TIA for the info.

 

The Todas are $300 a pair - cheap insurance if you ask me.

Boba- who hopes you get my point.

 

I'm guessing you prefer Toda

 

Hmm, Toda maybe? I'm certainly happy with mine. I hear the "new-style" Todas are even nicer.

 

I have Unorthodox Racing ones. They're nice too (billet construction).

 

I heard those are expensive

 

I paid CDN dollars - so they were expensive for me. But they're really not that much in the good ol' US of A. Am I wrong?

 

 

Beautiful! Soon, very very soon

 

MMMMMMMMMMM Toda caaaaaammmmmmmmmmmssssssssssssss....Grlaguaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaa(homer style)

Hey Boba, Which cams did you like again ?

 

I vote Toda gen 2. After using them last week I was impressed with their new setting marks. Much more accurate than trying to find half a mark on those others. No matter which setting you want, there is a mark you line up so that you are dead on every time. I even write some crude directions on how to use them for folks which it confused under my Toda FAQ.

 

Lip,
Did you ever get your final numbers for your dyno ?

other then this?



No. i haven't been able to get to the dyno to do all the other stuff yet. in time when i have it

 

Weak

Warren

 

I had aem's first. They slip.
Unorthadox second, loved them but a little hard to read.
Toda gen2's current. Super easy to read and adjust.(once I figured how )

 

so's your ***. now drive up here and get your steering wheel. lol.

nice trailer by the way

 

Okay, Okay. Toda it is. Thanks for the replies fellas.

 

Anybody know where I can get a set of Toda gen2's at a good price? Let me know, I'm interested...

 

Its a fixed price on Toda and they are $285
and they are my choice also

 

Hey fellas,

I have some first hand experience that AEMs can slip

I know a lot of people use them with no problems, but there have been others reporting problems, so I would not go that route.

As for the Skunks, has anyone heard of them slipping??? I absolutely cannot have them slip again

It may be easier for me to get the Skunks in time (rather than Todas) which is why I may go that route, but I would feel a lot better if people could substantiate that they will not slip.

Thanks,

FB

 

MMMMMMM....Toda....





I paid $280 shipped for mine.

 

thanks for the quick reply mike, that's why I just bought them from you.

 

Lip,
Damn...I can't even image what the uncorrected WHP and torque would be ?

 

To the best of my knowledge there has been never any reports of slippage on the skunk/skunk2 gears. The very old Z.Speed gears they evolved from which had steel center gears, way back in the day they included weak bolts that were easily overtorqued and broken. But that has been long take care of with high grade stainless bolts.

the skunk2 gear is marked off slightly, the true zero position is about half a mark advanced. But that does not really matter because it is only used for reference anyway when you tune the car on the dyno. Since the original poster asked what is the best for the money, I'd have to say the skunk2's
are.

Construction wise skunk2 are the very best. First cam gear out with hard anodized outter gear. Probably the most light weight gear still, and I've ran mine for some 30k miles and adjust them some 50 times...

Hey if you guys want a little rice combo I have them this way: blue for cold air, hot for exhaust... heheh.




I have them readily available if anyone is interested email me.
