    if its a billit steel core u will need a bronze sacrificial gear,,,if its a cast roller a std gear will be o.k...its all in the composition of the metal as far as what drive gear u will need...

    My comp cam stated that a bronze gear is required but it was made of a mix of metals for extended life.

    Or so they say....
