19432, Which cam gears to get???
Posted by 96venger, Apr-05-02 01:04 PM
I am going to buy some Cam gears.
Which ones should I get I found the AEM ones for 157 and I can get 10 bucks off of that.
But I wanted to know the best ones to get.

I also am going to buy a MSD DIS.
Should I get the HO or should I go ahead and spend the extra 90 bucks and get the DIS with the boost timing on it???

I want to push like 15-18psi...

AEMs are fine (I personally have Unorthodox Racing gears). As for the MSD, I would get one that can retard timing accord to boost (the programable one, I think).

Are the Cam gears worth the money??
I was told by one guy that they will not do anything unless you have cam?
With my engine rebuild and about 15 psi would the cam gears benefit me??

I believe an older import tuner got 9hp with no changes in timing with AEM cam gears. Neat huh?

That's is a really great deal. Todd, I know you were looking for some, so I think you should get these. It would probably take me longer and maybe even cost a bit more than that to get them for you.

When I put my cam gears on my 97 (before I sold it) I could actually FEEL THE POWER GAIN. I could not feel with with the exhaust, intake or headers. CAM GEARS DID A LOT. I had AEM but when it comes time to buy some cam gears for my 98, im getting unorthadox, I feel AEM is more Honda/Acura parts and I think they might slack off on other cars. It took the mechanic and myself 4 days to get the damn things to work properly.
