cam gear question

i know there is a similar thread to this, but no one seems to be responding, so i though maybe if i started a new one and made more choices, people will respond. i am in the market for adjustable cam gears, and there are just so many to chose from. which ones are the best?

I think any cam gear with 5 fasteners is a good gear.

i chose vishnu from those choices because i believe they are the only ones with a 6 bolt design...correct me if i'm wrong..for cost purposes tho, i'm going with the fidanza's on my up and coming cam install(a set for $179 on ebay). They are a 5 bolt design and should work very nicely.

Actually they are all reputable but going with more fasteners seems to make sense as long as they are all diagonally torqued properly.

We have some Fidanzas in the shop for our testing and R&D but decided to grind our 269 Power Cams accordingly with the stock cam gears so you don't have to spend extra $$$ on another set of cam gears.
In other words since we can index the lobe centerlines wherever we want in relation to the dowel pin/cam gear, we took the guesswork out so they are already optimized to drop right in.
