Im shopping for cam gears right now and I wouldnt mind buying some used.....I have a deal for $135 shipped for a pair of skunks's (6 bolt pattern)

My buddy called the in town performan...i mean Ricer City (lol) and they said out of all the cam gears; GE cam gears are the best to buy because they are more precise when tuning; Is this true?
Im turboing the block these are going on and tuning is the key right! are the skunks good enough for this price? Are they going to get the job done; or do i need some ge or others for over 200 for a pair?
(Please when relpying state wether you have delt with the cam gears first hand or if its hear say )

ST Corsa

 

first i noticed the bama web adress and thought you went to my school. then i was like wait....i know who's desk that is. then i realized that they are the ones that my friend are selling. or was selling, i cant remember, hah. weird.

 

GE cam gears? What and who is GE? General Electric?

 

GE= golden eagle.

 

Yeah i heard the Golden eagles are really good but they also cost an arm and a leg.

 

169 a cam is expensive...
I can get a pair of used ones for 135.....
from the sound of it skunk ones seem like a deal to me!

 

I think the skunks are fine. I have not heard any negetive feedback or slippage from them what so ever.

$34 is an oil change. The difference is inconsequential when you're talking aggressive cams with pistons, a built block, etc.

The pricing is for the pair, and it's quite a bit cheaper than repairing the results of valve/piston contact. ST Corsa's are the only adjustable sprockets I'll use (and recommend).

Edit: Plus, they're new, not used.

 

i alreayd bought them...i didnt nkow that was the price for 2 oh well...

there's always eBay


sorry for the confusion, I know the pricier JDM gears are like $300 a pair, so I can see where you saw that.

 

good luck

 

well maybe Ill sell em on ebay or something I wish i knew that was for a set....

 

i had skunk2 and they worked fine for me
