Was looking at buying the GMR cams for my car, then adding bates solid lifters, then started looking at what numbers i was expected to gain, compared to what i would be spending for everything, and while on the phone with Fred from SMG we both were pondering, what about adjustable cam gears? could I get not nessicerily the same numbers but maybe half just by using those? any help is appreciated

 

I think adjustable cam gears and the stock cams showed decent gains

 

link?

 

I thought you need adjustable cam gears if your going with different cams anyways?

 

GM didn't even run the GMR cams in the TA balt.

They ran adjustable came gears.

 

Going to use stock cams and possible cams gears

 

Good to know. Any links for info?

 

on the stock cams i dout you would see a big power increase unless the cam centerline is off a few degrees

I'd be happy with 5hp

 

for the cost of the gears its not worth it but good luck

 

Its about on par for what we pay and get out of intakes...

 

not realy it just depends on what intake you would make more power with zzp cams

 

Areas post said gmr

 

few of us have seen over 400whp with stock cams and no cam gears... why waste the money?

 

Good point. I'm trying for 300 whp on stock blowet

 

gmr cams are good cams but noy lash adjuster friendly zzp cams are

 

I just can't justify the amount it would cost for gmr cams plus Bates solid lifters plus installed vs the maybe ten HP I would get from it

Which is why I was pondering the cams gears

 

get the zzp cams all the hard work is done drop them in and tune

 

They don't need lifters or any other parts? I havbt heard of any 2.0 with them, is there proof of positive gains?

 

go look on there website turbo tim has been running them and you use stock lifters

 

Eh I still didn't see anything that says like stage one will net you this etc. Stage 2 cams have requirements such as nbs and valve springs which I have awaiting instal but again if I'm going to be spending 700plus for cams I want multiple testimonials with thoughts after instal, dyno sheets etc. Basically I want to be sold by customers of the cams to buy them.
