if its adjustable then you can adjust cam timing with it.

if its not adjustable then its just a bling thang

ya... the non adjustable ones are pointless unless you just want a blue/red/silver cam gear that you can't even see cause of the timing belt cover... so it's just piece of mind that you have color behind that cover lol

allows a tuner to tune the car properly

gives engine unique cool look

replaces old rusty cam gear

does not give any real power gains unless they are used to tune, then you might squeeze a few unseen hp's but when its all said and done unless you are putting down high hp numberws it not needed....

at the least id only put it on if you had

i/h/e, but if you got aftermarket cam's or a built head i'd then suggest on upgrading

p.s.

if not too much to ask see my sig if u get a chance

If you have a stock motor, then it is pretty pointless b/c you should change your factory timing.

If you have a built motor, then you or your tuner can adjust the timing when tuning to squeeze a few extra horsepower with the setup. For the full effect, you should also be running the AEM underpully's as well. They add approx. 6-9hp to your set up when tuned in perfect.
