No you will not gain any horsepower by adding aftermarket cam gears and keeping them set at 0. All they do is give you the option to advance or retard your cam timing. You might be able to get some hp from fooling around with them on a dyno but its not really worth it if you have stock cams n/a.

Not worth it??? are you sure about that?
CAI, header, exhaust and camgears with a VAFC will get a bunch more power.
just adjusting the cam gears properly will gain power.

This is correct.

In the vicinity of ~5-10whp, depending on the other mods.....

 

I agree with the above 2 statements. You will gain hp. Who buys Adjustable cam gears and leaves them at zero anymore.

 

There is hp to be had with cam gears, particularly on DOHC engines. All you need is a decent tuner.

 

I've never tuned before, but by adjusting intake/exhaust gears picked up ~4-5hp across the band n/a...

bang for the buck I'd say that's pretty nice adjustments.

 

i`m going to get my car tuned en chipt on a dyno but i was looking what other little things i could do for optimal preformance. So i`m going to buy some cam gears now. Tanks for the advise. What are the best to get, or are the al the same

 

try the ST. CORSA cam gears.

You can get them from tweakmeister, or at http://www.hogens.com

-hth

 

or you can try TODA CAM GEARS!!

 

those corsa`s look good and the price is very good but i live in holland and i dont think i can get those here. maby i can get the spoons.
are there any bad cam gears

 

Just contact Tweameister, he'll help you getting a set of ST Corsa cam gears. Got mine from him a while ago, a pleasure to deal with and a nice product. Shipping to Europe is no problem, I'm up in Norway myself.

Here's a link to his web page: http://www.hogens.com
