my stage 1+
OK. Last March of this year I dropped off my car so it can be upgraded to V390 stage 1+ with Xede. It's been running fine 
It logged 5000 miles with no issues.
So yesterday I started checking the cam gears and surprise suprise, Vishnu used an AEM TruTime 3 bolt cam gear
. What's up with this? I thought all packages were 5 bolt.
Can anyone give me a good explanation why a 3 bolt was used instead of 5 bolt?I know HKS has 3 bolts and AEM is a well established brand. I was mislead on the selling of the package? I really appreciate if you can answer this issue. Thanks.

Cam gears
That's it. I think you should sell your car right away.
They ran out of the custom units they get and had to install another set of gears to get your car done. It most likely cost them more money to do so but they did that to satisfy you, the customer.

Hmm there have only been 3 or four cars that had to have cam gear substitutions that I know of and Shiv has been good about calling customers before any work is done to give them the option. If for some reason you were not told I dont know the circumstances of it but no problem on getting a Vishnu set if you didnt make the call or prefer different.

What kind of cams do you want?
That's it. I thought they always use 5 bolt cam gears.
