Default DIST GEAR

OK I am going to replace my dist gear I have a bronze in it now and its on a pro bill msd its got some wear Ive heard they do when everythings new but once its broke in it should be good with a new one. My question is are the composite gears good for street use and long lasting? or stick with a new bronze?
Whats the reviews of you folks here?
Thanks

BOP gear is killer. Had it on when it was a street/strip car (5 yrs.). And still on it now after 9 yrs, still like new.

Buy the BOP composite gear and don't look back.

It's a No brainer.

BOP - I had to trim the bottom of the gear to clearance contact with the block. My stock block is just weird - but Yes BOP!

I have been thinking about trying the BOP dist. gear also.The question i have is how much oil pressure do you guys run and with what oil.Just trying to see how much load the gear can take.
thanks greg

I run 100 cold and 70 warmed up. 15 at idle. Been in the engine for over 7 years. Has had a lot of abuse thrown to it. ATI Prochargers and Nitrous. LOL.

I have run both synthetic and Race oils. Currently run the Valvoline VR-1
