Your head is costing you 5K? WTF are you doing on it? Mine cost me a total of 3,000 including Ferrea springs, retainers, locks, HKS 264 cams and port and polish.

You don't have to pay for TMS gears. They are rebranded Findiza. Just trying to save you a few bucks.

Andy, You dont need Cam gears reguardless of what brand. The technologly now a days on tuning, you can get more out of a timing tune than trying to adjust Gears in.

Soul Purpose to get Adj Cam gears IMHO is for looks, and looks only.

Thats the only reason I got mine, and only reason steven said he got his. They look 100000000x better tha nthe stockers

Ofcourse tuning has evolved but I get my cam gears for the nice looks. Can't disagree, the HKS belt and gears just look wicked.

Jus letting him know, buying TMS cam gears is just buying rebranded and inflated Findiza.

New parts came in today.

SIP Solid Timing Tensioner
SIP 1.3mm MLS HG
Gates Blue Racing Belt
TMS Adjustable Cam Gears

The solid tensioner looks a million times better then the stock one, any 7m I build will definitely have this on it.
