Default Ebay Central Florida Motorsports camgear

If anyone is looking for Zetec camgears this person is asking $300.00

Same person who's got the throttle body as well.

Are they worth 300? For the Gains?

How hard would it be to install??

the only real reason you would get cam gears is to that you can adjust the cams, advancing and retarding each cam... im sure you can do that anywho on the sensor.

I paid $300 for Ford Racing cam gears. Haven't fitted them yet. Gains depend totally on how well your cams are adjusted from factory. Also useful if installing new cams to make sure you get the maximum advantage from them.

They new or 2nd hand cam gears you got Steve because FR cams are $165.00 each without S&H and exchange rate.
You must of gotten both cams well mark under the RRP price.

I paid $130 US for my 70mm Pro M air mass metre and S&H and exchange rate to my door was $190AU

So where do you buy your parts from?
Would love to know.

I stand corrected Rob, I should have been clearer.

I paid $150 U.S., for each gear, and my brother in law brought them over on a trip home, so I had no freight

The place I got them was

http://www.parkwayperformance.com/ford_focus.asp

They appear to have gone up $5

I also snapped up a pair of Ford Racing Stage II camshafts from them at the same time......Ford Racing have now discontinued them.

Yet to fit them yet, as I am thinking of getting the Ford Racing CNC'd head in a few months time, and fitting them all at the same time

With cam gears, you have to be careful as many sites quote a price for cam gears(plural), but are only quoting one gear.

The best value at the moment I reckon are these Esslinger cam gears @U.S.$89 each
