CNC-Machined 7075-T6 Billet Aluminum

Unlike cheaper cast cam gears, Skunk2 uses aerospace-grade 7075-T6 billet aluminum.

Benefits include:

• Exceptional strength
• Reduced weight
• Improved durability
• Consistent accuracy
• Resistance to deformation under high RPM conditions

The lightweight design reduces rotational mass, helping improve engine response and acceleration.

Hard Anodized Outer Gear

The Pro Series Cam Gear features a hard-anodized outer gear designed to resist wear from timing belt contact.

Advantages include:

• Longer service life
• Improved durability
• Better resistance to belt wear
• Consistent timing accuracy

This makes it ideal for both street-driven and track-focused applications.

Titanium-Anodized Center Hub

The center hub receives a titanium-anodized finish that gives the gear its distinctive appearance.

Beyond aesthetics, the finish provides:

• Corrosion resistance
• Enhanced durability
• Professional motorsports appearance

Let’s be honest—Honda enthusiasts appreciate horsepower, but they also appreciate opening the hood and seeing something that looks fast.

One of the standout features of the Pro Series Cam Gear is Skunk2’s signature six-bolt locking mechanism.

Benefits include:

• Secure cam timing adjustments
• Reduced chance of slippage

Many tuners prefer the six-bolt system because it maintains timing settings even during aggressive track use.

±10 Degrees of Adjustment

The gear offers:
