I really don't think you're going to feel anything from just installing a cam-gear... They just make tuning the engine easier.

dont waste the money if your buying cause you think its cool looking. you wont feel a difference. used for fine tuning a "HIGH PERFORMANCE" engine. Not something with an intake & exahust. But what ever do you what you gotta do

I wouldn't trust that number. Alot of companies inflate the horsepower gains of their products... I always take it with a grain of salt...

i agree with civic you will only gain 3-5hp if you dyno tune it and whats the point to get it dynoed with such little on it? and you might not get even that 3-5hp with the dyno tuning

hey gunnman have you timed your can yet? if so what did you run? do you think the cam and cam gear gave you 15-20 horsepower? or like 2 or 3 car lenghts faster?

Ok a cam gears are worthless on your stock cams. They suggested that you get cams along with it. From what i read is that if you just get cam gears it'll give no horsepower or you lose a couple on your stock cams.
