What is the main advantage of using a gear drive camshaft?

Gear drive cams offer improved valve timing accuracy because they eliminate the cam drive chain and tensioner. This direct connection ensures more precise timing events compared to chain-driven systems.

What else is needed to achieve the advertised 100 HP?

The manufacturer states that 100 HP is achievable when this camshaft is coupled with the appropriate intake and exhaust systems. You will need to select compatible performance intake and exhaust components to reach this power level.

Does this kit include everything for installation?

Yes, the kit includes all the required bearings, o-rings, and hardware needed for installation. This makes it a comprehensive package for upgrading your camshaft.
