The gears themself aren't going to give you any sort of performance gain. To acheive that, you're going to have to go to a dyno and adjust the cams to where you want the power.

so far, i think there were several people that have dynoed their cars with all sorts of settings.. in fact, with talking with marcus and seeing his charts, 2 and 2 was proven to have the best results NA, not too sure about boosted tho. i have them set 2 and 2, and i saw nice gains!

also, you should be able to get the gears for 125 each, maybe less. check around...

2 and 2 was not good on my setup, i got hella backfire, shitty idle, bad boost response, blow off valve was not functioning right, engine was throwing a "timing belt skipped a tooth" code, etc.... I set them back to 0 and 0 for now and it fixed every problem i was having all in 2 minutes :-) The dyno will only tell whats best.

OK OK OK..........SO IN REALITY CAM GEARS ARE NOT REALLY WORTH THE 250 BUCKS UNLESS ONE HAS ACCESS TO A DYNO AND IS ABLE TO PAY FOR ALL THE RUNS ( I HAVE NO ACCESS TO A DYNO AND HAVE NO CLUE OF WHERE ONE IS IN OREGON, ANY OREGONIAN OUTTHERE CARE TO PITCH IN, (ONE IN SALEM WOULD BE BEST SUTABLE))
......:nono .....I GUESS I WILL SPEND THE 250 IN PORTING OR BORING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND OR THE T-BODY......
IF ONLY THE FARY OF ECLIPSES WOULD COME INTO MY GARAGE AND TUNE MY CAR TO PERFECTION......OH WELL I GUESS ONLY IN DREAMS...WELL GUYS I MADE UP MY MIND AND TO ME CAM GEARS ARE NO WOTHR THE MONEY BUT I DO APRECIATE ALL THE HELP AND IMPUT YOUR GUYS , LALL OF YOU, HAVE PUT IN TO IT .... THANKS SO MUCH ..THIS IS WHAT I CALL HEAVEN ....EXCEPT THERE ARE NO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS IN HERE THAT I KNOW OF BUT OH WELL.

they do but 250 could be well invested towards a stage 2 clutch
