would it be useless to put cam gears on stock camshafts or would it mess up the stock camshafts? thanks

 

If you need to tune, then it is ok. If you don't need to or don't plan on doing so in the future, then it won't do you any good.

*Edit* But it won't hurt the cams at all.

It's essential for tuning. Other than that, no.

What about them? They won't mess up the cams if that's what your asking. They will give you a few hp *at most*. I haven't heard the greatest things about crank pulley's though. Unless it is lightened, it isn't that great for it.

would the say the pulleys are worth it

 

Cam gears are only used to advance or retard your engine timing, in order to achieve tuning goals, without having to mess with your distributor's setting. Therefore, unless you are tuning your engine, they won't benefit you.

As far as pulleys go, alot of people buy them to reduce rotational mass, because most of them are made out of alumimun, but they won't affect your cams at all. Purely to reduce weight, and the gains made are small to say the least.
