Do u really need cam gears when u do a cam job and if so how much more power does tuning the gears really give u?

You are going to get mixed answers on this. Several tuners say yes, several say no.

Try doing a search and sifting through all the BS yourself.

I have them because I believe the added adjust-ability and fine tuning they offer is worth the expense and a minimal risk.

Do you NEED them... no. There are 9-10 second cars on stock cam gears. Some tuners like them and use them, others do not.

You don't need no stinkin gears...

Do your research and make up your own mind, I personally decided not to get them

i mean are u gonna make that much more power by buying some 300 dollar hks cams gears

cam gears don't "make" power... They allow for the tuning of cams - which make power. nevertheless...

Only if you have the accessibilty and knowledge to tune them precicely every time you change something on the car. And deffinately not on a IX

yea that what i ment but how much more power could u make by tuning them with gears

Here,read this link for post made by Al (dynoflash himself) and what he saw someone do with a set of cam gears,picked up 50whp right before his very eyes.BTW,read the whole Thread after reading from post from thread

this may help

You can easily make 15-20whp gains at high rpm (above 7000rpm) by retarding the factory cams 5 deg. HKS cams also benefit from some adjustment but not to the same degree. The nice thing about adj cam gears is that you can tweak the power curve/idle quality/etc,. to give you want you want.

Those who oppose cam gears do for fear of failure. Of course, if you keep the adjustment range within a safe window and use strong fasteners, the changes for problems are essentially zero. Any way you look at it, it's a lot safer than many other mods such as Methanol, imho.

shiv

I only ordered one cam gear to run the +2/0 setting on my 280s. I'll pick up about 15WHP and a good amount of TQ.

Get the Gears! Tuning a car is everything and this is one more way for you to have the advantage over someone who does not tune to the nth degree.

Bingo!!!

will I benefit from cam gears with my HKS 264/264?? how much hp gain ??
