Wow that is actually really good advice. Seems it is hard to come across that these days. Not to be an *** OP but why get cam gears if you not going to get them tuned? That defeats the purpose of came gears. And secondly aftermarket cams are hardly correct (look at there different instruction manuals they will all say it) so when you just bolt them up you will effectively change your degreeing anyway. That could cause you to lose power. If you happy with the car as is then no, you should not get them as you do not need them.

If your car is already tuned then i wouldnt see why you would have too. I would ask your tuner as stated above just to be on the safe side. How long have you been running it with your stock gears?

The addition of adjustable cam gears will give your tuner the ability to precisely dial-in the cams for your setup. You don't need them by any means; however, with the adj. cam gears, you could potentially unlock some previously hidden power in your setup. From here, its your call. If you can justify spending the money, then its a worthy investment.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have them on my setup just lets you tune the car better. If your not going to tune it anymore then i wouldn't worry about it...but who tunes a car and then leaves it that way. :D

In addition to cam gears, you need to learn how to use this part of your computer keyboard:
