Hey Zetec guysk
This will be a Group Buy for Fidanza Adjustable Cam Gears. I researched all the other brands, and I found these to be the best. They offer 12 degrees of timming increase or decrease while the other only offer 10. They are made with Fidanza quality. They also come in three different finishes: Silver, Red, or Blue. They will be $200 a set and we need 5 people to make this happen. Lets get this one going
P.S. Any person who is also intersted in a Fidanza flywheel and wants to purchase both the Cam Gears and Flywheel, they will get an additional discount. Thanks
RamMotorsports
Whens this going to end. I might be in. Can you just order one gear for those with VCT? I might just do the intake cam to avoid the "Contour Enthusiast Light".
I could very very well be in for this.
Wish you would have done this like 4 months ago.
BTW Fidanza is not the only adjustable cam gear with 12 degrees of adjustment.
The Focus Central gears I have 12 degrees too.

what degree are yours set at....any notice in gains.
get me shipping cost to 38238.....do you accept paypal?
I should have the shipping charges tommrow. I don't see any reason the rates would go over $10. But don't quote me. And remember I need to get 10 cam gears sold. Thanks

so if i want to buy one now, you cant....your going to have to wait for 10....cause i am down to buy now....i just ordered an exhaust cam
Let's get this thang done. If need be, we could maybe get some foci and cougar forums involved to get the required number.
yeah I'm ready to get it started. That Anthony guy said he would post in the ZX2 forums. Spread the word
Just so you know, yes, its in the ZX2 forums.
I want in on this. Whens the deadline? Can we send money now? Oh, and Im interested in the flywheel as well, so how much extra is that.
Thnx
-Art
Well lets start a list then:
1.Kremithefrog (2gears)
2.anthonyconstant (2gears)
3.PolishracerZX2 (2gears)
4.bk4293 (1gear?)
Since its been posted on the other board, I suspect that this will fill up soon. As for the Zetec Fidanza Flywheel, I'll have a price when I get home from the office. Give me a couple hours and I should have a price. Thanks
only three more to go!!!
come on guys your always complaining about having no aftermarket
I don't think we complain about no aftermarket, because the aftermarket is pretty big. But we do complain about no GBs, and here is a good one, so ya'll get in now even if you may have to wait a few months to get them installed.
theres a few more people wanting cam gears...cash wants a set
http://forum.teamzx2.com/viewtopic.php?t=9558
Why some people are buying 2 and others are buying 1 ???
how many are required ??
What are the gains ???
How about installation + setting up + tuning ???
Later
Some people are buying one because they have VCT on the exhaust cam and don't want to deal with it.
None, one, or two are required.
Gains depend on each car and how well you tune them, and other mods. Ask DDavis for his dyno plots.
Installation is about the same as timing belt, except you're changing the gears, proper tuning is done on a dyno, but changing settings at the strip can give you a general idea of how much they help.

funny boy !!!!!
I was reading about davis tuning his gears.
So for proper tunin I should go to a dyno, correct ???
more costs... right ???
Someone was saying that it only SHIFTS powerband.. no gains.
Does that confirm ???
If not, with CTa + SVT Exhaust + blue Racing Wires + Leather Shift Boot + Badgeless = how much HP with Cam gears ????
any truth in that ???
Quote:
Our cam sprockets provide +/- 12deg of adjustment. Billet aluminum construction with hard anodized black outer gear. Gains of 10-12hp @ the wheels have been documented repeatedly. Installation tool included.
Another Cam gear
I've been assured by Fidanza that customers have had tremendouse success with these cam gears. Gains will depend on each individual application, but as the above links says, 10-12HP can be made possible.
Is that TRUE ???
dyno for CAMs
No idea on that paricular cam gear, but that is very feasible depending on mods and tuning.
Did you see my last link with dyno plots ???
I think they only have a CAI & exhaust + CAm Gears.
15HP gained !!
Is that possible ??
another question.... the SET is $175... for both intake & exhaust.. right ????
Originally posted by BBorges:

Thats correct. Sets are $175 while Sinlges are $90
Feel free to update the list as I'm sure we will be meet our needed amount today. I posted on the ZX2 forum and it got tremendouse results. Thanks

I'll probably make the order Friday guys so I'll be sending PM's to all those in. THanks
Here is the list:
1.Kremithefrog (2gears)
2.anthonyconstant (2gears)

Ok guys I'll be accepting payments today. Paypal will be fastest, but if you would like to send a check or money order instead that ok too. Paypal will be an additional $5.50. So here is the break down:
2 Cam Gears: $175
Paypal: $180.50
1 Cam Gear: $90
Paypal: $93
Shipping is a killer on this one guys. These Cam Gears cost $10 to ship, however thats when they are comming to RamMotorsports. If I have to drop ship any product for Fidanza they charge me an additional $10. I am having some gears shipped to the office(RamMotorsports) for special sercumstances, however you will have to contact me before I do that. So shipping will be $20 sorry
If you would like to pay with PayPal, please make sure you include your shipping address in the Paypal invoice.
My Paypal address is :
hamram@bellsouth.netIf you are sending a check, please send it to:
RamMotorsports
P.O. Box 2002
Sulphur, LA 70664-2002
Please post after you have paid and the method at which you have done so. When i get all payments, I an start shipping. Thanks
I thought a little bit and I decided to talk to Fidanza today and see if I can get that shipping price down a bit. May be I could have them all shipped to me and then out to ya'll. I'll have to get to ya'll with that. Thanks

Yes.. do that.
you already have 14 pulleys sold... and more people are to come. I am one that is getting there... but if you jack up the price on shipping you not gonna help.
Talk to them at Fidanza and see what they can do for 20 pulleys sold.
THEN you could do $175 FLAT.
Let us know.
later

I'm using Esslinger gears, but this may help you guys decide:
Note the blue plot here - that's on the stock gears:
Note the red plot here - that's after tuning the gears:
That's a gain of 10 peak HP. That isn't the best part, though. At 6500 rpm (stock redline, IIRC) the HP difference is 24 HP and TQ is up about 20. So yes, properly tuned gears can make nice improvements.
You can read about the gains made that night here.
Okay, I'm done whoring my car
SVTCuervo, if this info helps move gears for ya, could I get in on that Fidanza flywheel discount?
how many people left to pay?

I've just gotten off the phone with Fidanza and we have a problem. About two days ago someone bought out their entire stock of Zetec Cam Gears. This means that it will be antoher 3 weeks before they produce any more. Let me konw what you want to do. We can still make the order and that will act as an incentive for Fidanza to produce them qucker. I entended on making the order tommorow. Let me konw what you all would like to do. THanks
I'm still in, make that order as soon as you can.
Good news guys I got Fidanza on a roll and they are going to produce them early next week for us. So we don't have to wait much longer. Thansk
