I'm the biggest ass in the world. If your looking to change your cam gears (95-99), go ahead and save up and install your UDP at the same time if your planning on doing it in the future (do it now! that is if you can find someone to do it. I hear mechanic run screaming from the job). It's going to come off anyway and will end up costing you the same if your having a mechanic do it. Dont be like my dumbass and have to pay $200 twice for basically the same job. I dont know about anyone else but my mechanic was traumatized by the experience (having to install the cam gears) his exact words were "I'm having flash backs to when I did your cam gears as you walked in and showed me this part (AF/X UDP)" Damn those Chrysler engineers.

:cry: :dsm: :talon: :laser:
 
or you could do it yourself, save the $400 for install of both the gears and the pulley, and buy some nice cam shafts. :thumb:
 
ya this one shop was only charging me $65, but then they couldnt get the stock pulley off so they told me i had to take it to somewhere else :mad: now im doing it myself
 
dynamic turbo charged me 100 for the install, had benefits tho got to see a 450whp srt-4 dyno, the guy who worked on my car had a 9 sec supra (automatic :) ) haha

LOL, apex charged me 90 bux for my UDP install

Yeah I'm pretty sure your mnemonic pulleyhas a sane design. You know using bolts and such. 95-99 NT's are pressed on. And I probably could have done it myself if I had the needed tools, a lift and the downtime neccessary for me to figure out how to get started. :thumb: :dsm: :talon: :laser:
