Ahh I remember seeing that thread. Its about time that ZC owners get their own cam gears instead of using make shift b-series ones. Nice post!

shuddup win :rolleyes:

looks good man, nice post.

how much is this costing?

they are costing about $160 per set landed here in Perth... pretty cheap actually!

do cam gears actually produce any sort of gain? how much? always been curious

yeah but is obviously alot better if u have cams lol

nice pics!

got any pics of how they cut the teeth in the cam gears or is it from a mould?

nar... cam gears are cnc machined out on the lathe.. like what u see on the first few pics.. just that they didnt show the process of how they make the teeth. They use smaller radius cutters for the gear teeth.
