I know this thread is over a decade old .... back then peeps thought available straight cut cam gears were not good quality. I figured I would ask if this 'situation' has changed since then.

Is anyone running straight cut cam gears now?

This vid shows a VW type 4 with straight cut gears. I think it sounds pretty good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

^ I like it, almost has a /6 motor sound. I think those long chains on the /6 make up some of the "noise" that we love.
Yes! it does have that -6 sound! ... I wonder if anyone makes a nice set of these gears. I am thinking to run a milder cam with higher ratio rockers ..... and figured I could get this sound while I am at it .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
