Unorthodox versus Boomba cam gears - SRT Forums

How do these compare? Any advantages or disadvantages to one over the other?

In my opinion there isn't much of an advantage of one over the other. The main difference is looks. Boomba only comes in the stock/red anodizing. Unorthodox comes in the black/silver anodizing. Both are strong. Both fit under the stock cover. Just really comes down to what you want

Thats more or less what I was thinking...same adjustability same bolt pattern, both seem less prone to cracking or other issues than the older Fidanza style. Looks wise I'm not concerned about, just funcationality.

I have Boomba's on my car. A buddy of mine has unorthodox. No complaints from either of us

I have unorthodox, works fine. Only complaint.... only 10 degrees of adjustment. The car had cracked fidanzas, why I replaced them, the fidanzas where dyno tuned to 12*exhaust and 9*intake. I cant duplicate it that with the UR gears

Didn't know that. The Boomba's are 20*

Wow, thats alot of adjustment. I thought I read somewhere though that beyond 13* was like skipping to the next tooth. I guess if you need it

My car had old style fidanza cam gears when i bought it and they were just showing signs of cracking then. A month later full blown cracks all the way around the gear.
