Default CRX cam gears with ZC swap

What cam gears would i use? I've been told I need to special order a ZC cam gear but I've also been reading that I can use 1990 Integra cam gears. For those of you with cam gears on your ZC, what cam gears did you use?

if you have a black top dohc zc , dont get the old integra cam gears, they dont work, the newer ones will however(for a b-series). crx si ones wont work either, way way to big, and they are for a single cam. if you have the dohc zc, i would get srr cam gears, thats what i have and i LOVE them, and the offset is good, which is a common problem with runnin b series cam gears on a zc.
if you have the single cam zc, just get a cam gear for the crx si, cause its basically the same motor. good luck man

I have HKS ZC cam gears. I wasn't able to get jack **** out of them on the dyno. Your results may differ, but personally, after 4 years of messing with ZCs, I have yet to see anything impressive come from cam gears on that motor.

I say if you have stock cams, save your money. There are better places to spend money to get power on a ZC.

nope, i have srr cam gears. best value ever......i got mine from perpetualconcepts.com......i know the dudes that run it a bit, they gave me a little break, but not much....still great deal. i'd recomend them to anyone. i have reground cams, milled head, etc, so i needed the cam gears, havent tuned it yet, but will as soon as weather breaks.....i have the gears set right now at .7 degree advance or so to compensate for the head milling....it still pulls like mad with the slightly higher compression and the stage 2 exospeed cams....i love it

i'm thinking cam gears since it's somewhat inexpensive and will be able to be kept if (read: when) i decide to go turbo.
