not unless you have computer work and other things to let the engine breathe better, intake header and exhaust.

They won't work unless you get your computer tuned so it's not worth it.

Stage 2 works without a tune but only if you can live with an engine light all the time.

I'd go with stage 1 or the turbo cams and see what that gets you.

You're not gonna want to drive on the road w/ a stage three , unless you're gonna be racing A LOT, you should just get stage 1 or 2

People have this misconception that there are certain camshafts that for the "street" and for "racing". Fact is, there is no real difference. If you are ignorant to the fact of how camshafts work and what type of camshafts you have and they idle too high for you or you have a lack of low end power than that's all on you but fact is, there is no one is stopping you from putting a certain camshaft in a daily driver but yourself.

Turbo camshafts make less valve overlap, which is bad for trying to make power naturally aspirated.

But can you use them while waiting for a turbo? or do you think it would be better to get the Stage 1 cams instead?

I guess...there is nothing stopping you from using it but as far as how well it will run or perform, I don't know.
