Default cam gears on a turboed car?? worth it?

im going to take my car to AR FAB to get it dyno tuned in the middle of Oct and i was wondering if it would be worth it to install a set of AEM cam gears before i take it to the dyno.. the b18c1 head is completly stock but i have a skunk2 IM on a bully built 2.0ltr b18c motor..

only reason i ask is i know a kid selling a set of cam gears and he said he would give me a deal.. thanks

Properly adjusted, I've seen cam gears add up to 15whp.

I have JG cam gears and am really happy with them. Adjusted correctly and you can gain good power.
