If it is a non roller Comp Cam he can use the standard gear. I have had the same gear on mine with 3 different solid Comp Cams. Roller cams might need a different gear depending on the cam makeup.

The composite gear is the way to go if you want NO issues ever. Big bucks though.

I called the Comp Cam tech hotline today. Theyadvised that the stock gear would be OK.
