OBX is poor quality, from what I have read. I've been spending most of my time in the c5-c6 vette forums as late, and most people don't touch their stuff.

I have not used any of their stuff so I can't say anything about them from personal experience. Just passing on what I have read.

hey i work at autozone lol ya i understand what you mean, i might try them and keep a close eye on them and let you guys know how they work out. They fidanza cam gears are supposed to be good quality and these look very comparable and they have 6 bolts holding instead of fidanzas 5.

If you want cam gears, go with the Modular Performance ones, which are expensive. Cloyes are supposed to be good, but they had some initial problems that were fixed.

Cloyes are adjustable. They come with a key that you turn to adjust them.

Stay away from obx cam gears or any adjustable cam gears that relies on small alen screws to hold the timing. Cloyes and Mod Component adjustable gears are the only ones I would suggest. Grinding the stock gears may be more time consuming but is the safest method.
