I've seen them on groupbuycenter.com for good prices once or twice.

I just tried yesterday to get them from 6 different dealers and they all tell me that OBX has them on back order, so I called OBX and they told me they will be on back order for 60 to 90 days. I went to
http://www.speedandstyle.com/index_2.htm and got the AEM brand Part number (AEM23-650) for $129.00 each. I hope that helps.

Sorry guys, but OBX is a cheap knock-off company. They make some decent products, but I would never put their cam gears on my car. That is a vital part of your engine, and if the belt slips due to the teeth not being laser-cut perfectly, you'll bend your valves. For things like strut bars and mufflers, OBX is fine. But for critical engine components, I wouldn't risk it.

Try these! I don't have cam gears yet but a few people on this board do have these and I haven't heard anything bad on them. http://howell.mountain.net/Talon/DSMengine.html

Those Fidanza gears had issues with the bolts stripping for the neon guys, don't know if they fixed it or not. I'd stick with AEM, but I'm biased. I have AEM.
