is it true that if you buy after market camgears you have to buy camshafts too??

 

no. you can use cam gears on your stock cams

 

would that effect the performance or no?

 

Do you mean for better, or worse?

With a cam gear, you can retard, or advance the timing. Either will improve your numbers on one end of the powerband, but you will lose power in the other.

At the stock setting, you won't experience any gains, or losses.

 

so theres pretty much no point on buying any unless u got some performance camshafts right

Not necessarily.

An upgraded camshaft will help, but you can still experience decent gains from a cam gear. It helps shift your powerband, and it does it nicely.
