I prefer the Titan cam gear. Main thing is to stay away from first gen hks cam gears.

How do I know if its first gen?
Is there a huge cam gear difference or is it just weight, color preference?

Stick with 5 bolt design. Hks is 3 bolt and the first gen was prone to slipping.....not good! Unorthodox Racing is what I like.

UR or Titan hands down. BC came out with a cam gear that doesn't look too bad either. A guy on SF's is using it with good luck so far (4 bolt design)

You better have a tech install for you bro. Also, you should really save up for cams as well and install at the same time......it will be well worth it.

cams would be nice, but its a lot more work than just a cam gear.

OP.....eventually though, get cams in the near future.
