Cam Gear choices...

[xleRateGSX]

I am interested in what cam gears' people are going with. So I will start this off with the Fidanza. Feel free to give your opinion or specs on other gears.

Fidanza

Material: 6061 T6
Features: Coal blasted belt surface (for better grip), then hard anodized for increased durability. Five stainless steel studs retain the outer ring to the inner ring.

DSM-Performance (notice any difference?)

AEM Tru-Time

Material: 6061 T-6 billet aluminum.
Feature: AEMs new hard-anodizing on the outer edge of the gear is 40% harder than our previous anodizing process. All new Grade-8, six-point hex bolts replace our previous allen-style bolts.

Has anyone had any experience with these or other choices?

What about the JUN cam gears? I was looking into those as well

Jun

Material: NA
Features: All steel alloy center adjustment plate, OEM fit, and precise timing marks are machined and highlighted for accuracy and longivity.

Doesn't give much info but Jun is well known in the Honda community.

Past experience baby. Expensive as all hell, but awsome quality

They look really good as well!

Anyone else have anything they would like to contribute as well?

HKS Adjustable Cam Gears allow for fine tune adjustments to cam timing to maximize engine performance and tailor power characteristics for various driving conditions. Either with OEM or HKS Camshafts, adjustments can be made to tune an engines powerband to an optimum RPM range for a particular application. By using a Vernier scale, a valve timing adjustment tool that uses sub scale, a more accurate adjustment is possible because it provides the crank angle in 0.2° increments.

HKS cam gears are constructed of anodized precision-machined aluminum plates and incorporate laser-etched indexes in 2° intervals. The full aluminum versions of the HKS Cam Gears are constructed completely of aluminum (except for the bolts), thereby reducing overall weight and resulting in decreased friction loss and greater precision timing. Precise valve timing can be adjusted and set within the range of ± 20° in 2° intervals by referring to the laser-etched degree indexes and the A (advance) and R (retard) directional etchings on the cam gear face.

Information from HKS's USA site.

-I'm using the AEM Truecam on the intake & exhaust, you're suppost to tune them on a dyno to maximize gain, but if your block and/or head had no been shaved, I don't think there's a point in using them.

well to tell you the truth cam gears aren't really that important. They look cool but unless you run a highly tuned motor with actual race cams, then gears are better left alone, money best spent somewhere else.
