Benefit of cam gears?

How much would cam gears really help with GSC 264i and 272e? Or would I be fine using just stock?

The more aggressive the cams, the more one stands to benefit by adjusting cam gears according to his desired specifics. Cam timing adjustments allow one to enhance areas of the power curve that can significantly if not dramatically affect performance and economy.
