How about some actual upgraded cams to go along with the DOCH VTACK and cam GEARS?

According to HondaFan81's (Cisco) research, Megan Racing are identical in every way to Skunk2's cam gear.

Just a thought.

for one, i would go with skunk2. and secondly, i think he means... without cams, gears are useless. kinda like buying a sms header and bolting it to a stock exhaust.

as far as show related: more points with skunk2 or aem??? now performance related skunk2 or aem???

Point wise? You get points for those parts now? Just get what you want both are somewhat reputable companies.

i think as long as the manufactor is reputable (both skunk2 and aem are) its just a choice of looks and price. because honestly, how different can you make them? just buy some crower cams and get the cam gears from them also. then it will come all in one box and you can install it all at the same time.

Megan Racing Cam Gears are identical to Skunk2's.
Why spend more?

bs... im not sure how much this applies to regular swaps but on adams g23... f23 block h22a head.. the adjustability of the cam gears allowed antoine to gain 20WHP on the dyno... aided side by side of course.. ecu tuning and the cam gears.. but that 20whp wasnt done soley on the tuning.. words from the tigers mouth...


they help.. period...

megan racing and skunk2 identical in every way?? how about weight? juust a thought.....

[91accordwagon]

I'm running an OBX on my f22 and it's exactly the same as the Megan version and the AEM version, got it 10 bucks cheaper than the megan and 40 bucks cheaper than the AEM.

You don't need cams to make use of cam gears. They can show gains with stock cams. If you have IHE, cam gears can help move your powerband into a more usable range. Combine a good IHE setup with some cams, ECU tuning, and some good cam gears, and yes... you're looking at some noticable gains.

However, some people really don't like adjustible gears, as they are often hard to set exactly.


As far as the brands go, you can never go wrong with the name brands. I have a set of 3 bolt AEM gears (the old style) waiting to go on when I get my cams as well.

Skunk seems to have 2 types with one being lighter than the other. I actually had the heavier set and it worked fine on mine. Gains were seen at the wheels using oem H22 cams. I chose the Skunk gears because they had more bolts (6) to keep everything in place. I had heard to many stories of bolts coming loose, people not tightening them down enough. I figured the odds of this happening would decrease with more bolts to turn. Haven't had a problem yet.
