I actually heard back from Racing works this morning. And the news wasn't good!
So then i started searching around a bit and i have found these:
And here is the write up:
This company doesn't sell the tuner series. Only the pro. But the prices wern't too bad with shipping. I will email them to find out availability but i probably won't hear back for a couple of days due to public holidays over there.
The prices including shipping were: All prices AUD
1 pair = $277.85
2 pairs =$525.06 = $262.53 each
3 pairs =$774.21 = $258.07 each
4 pairs =$1023.37 = $255.84 each
5 pairs =$1273.22 = $254.64 each
Here is the site i used: http://www.advancespeedshop.com/sku....html?osCsid=6f7b1ac8981d3122ec50eb702ff43f0c
Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

As you can see, brisvr4 has some of these:

It does look like the price has gone up as I paid $139 US + Shipping for mine.
This is them, they have a pretty titanium look and are VERY light.

Only one set of the tuner ones.
They will cost about $299.00 shipped from memory.

I emailed the above ebay seller direct at the company and he's already gotten back to me with a quote and a couple of emails.
He's quoted me $170US a pair if we get 4 or 5 pairs plus $70us shipping.
Thats $195.69AUD each delivered if we get 4 pairs.
I've just emailed him to find out how many of each colour he has in stock.
Pm me for definate orders with colour preference

So these are for the Pro series cam gears right? I've spoken to a few people at work and they've told me to go the lighter and stronger material if I've got a choice between the two grades - so if they're the Tuner series I'm going to pass.

That price is for the tuner series. I can see if he has the pro series for anyone interested.
I want the Pro-Series - I reckon the lighter material will help the engine rev better, plus it's harder material (aeronautical grade aluminium!) plus I can visualise in my head how you'd adjust the position of the cams. I'm having trouble working out in my head how the centre of the Tuner-Series would be easily moved for adjustments.
Some useful info from some website browsing (http://www.skunk2.com/cgi-bin/kb.cgi?do=read&id=167&lang=)
We recommend you degree your camshaft for optimal results as they are not meant to be set to zero like factory camshafts. There is another option called "quick settings" in which you can set the cam gears to get close to the correct setting as if they were degreed in. We mean close because it is not spot on like degreeing the cam so we can no take responsibility for what may occur as there are too many variables to consider like a milled block, new pistons, clearance (valve to valve, piston to valve), etc. For quick settings it is important (life or death of the motor) to know which cam gears you have as the settings are different on the pro series and tuner series cam gears. For the Tuner (silver, red, or blue finish) series, Pro 1 quick settings are +1.5 intake and +2 exhaust. The quick settings for the Pro-series cam gears (titanium finish) are double meaning +3 intake and +4 exhaust. You can refer to pg 17 for these settings in our new catalog (available pdf online) and pg 21 on how to degree in a cam. We hope this helps.
