Is this the cam gear?

No they are made by woods or Andrews, they both offer them. I like the way it idles cool sound. with the gear in there it will come in earlier thats all. The low end is better without the gear but you can feel where they kick in though.

I used to have a picture of my dyno run with the 204's in an otherwise unmolested 96". Torque was just shy of 100. The start to come on in the mid 2's.... peak at about 4 bu pull hard up to 5800. They do not hurt the bottom end over stock and the torque curve is very flat.... I am happy with mine.
