Bronze gear necessary??

I was looking at this Crane gear for a new billet camshaft I have.
Are you saying you ARE going to try running the melonized Crane gear on your billet camshaft that already has a bronze gear wear pattern?
I am curious to see how this works for you, since Crane says not to do this. I hope it works.
Also, crappy that Crane does not offer this with a shaft installed. You have to transfer it onto your old shaft. So now I need this gear for $90 plus whatever a hardened shaft from Mopar costs these days.
