670, For all who have cam gears. Posted by guest, Apr-15-01 12:46 PM Well I want to add Cam gears to my mod list. I think I am going to go with the AEM ones. I know that they can give around an extra 6-7 hp. I dont think I want to install them myself. I dont want to mess with the timing belt. How much do you guys think someone will charge me to do it. And if there is anyone from the board in central or south florida that can do it let me know!!!

671, RE: For all who have cam gears. Posted by DSMNT96, Apr-15-01 02:17 PM Well, I dont live in FL, but my local shop here installed my AEM cam gears for about 300 bucks. It took them almost an entire day to do it. I was thinking of installing them myself too but the job is a pain to do plus I dont have all the tools to do it.Unless, you have the tools, patience and knowledge to install them, go for it. Otherwise look for a shop to do it for a good price. Plus, if you have a shop do it, make sure they set the cam gears right. My shop here set mine up wrong and now im a little more than a half a second slower with my settings right now. When I do my turbo install (with the help of Nikademis), I'll set them to the right specs. Advance intake 2 degrees, retard exhaust 2 degrees. Soon to be Boostin with Star Stage 1!

673, RE: For all who have cam gears. Posted by DSMNT96, Apr-15-01 02:56 PM Very true, Im with you on that, I wish I had done the install myself, then my car would be in the mid to low 15's again. Soon to be Boostin with Star Stage 1!
674, RE: For all who have cam gears. Posted by eclipse804, Apr-15-01 04:14 PM Actually most places should install it for around 200 bucks. Its good hp for the money if you're staying nt, but if you are going turbo for sure, you might want that turbo first... eclipse804@hotmail.com http://importdeals.homestead.com Import Parts and Performance
