Keep us updated on how this works out for you. I have till the beginning of March to get parts in order as that is when I tear down my block to start the 300+ build.

Unless this has a diff. lobe sep. then these are the same cams i posted about a long time ago. Why they named it stage 3, i don't know! they are the only blower cam they make. I talk to comp cams months ago about these and they are street legal. Just need a recal. to make it run better. Its designed to work with the stock valvetrain.

We are actually going to try the Turbo cams, Stage 2 and Stage 3 cams in the 2.2 ecotec drag cavalier we have this up coming season and see what actually works best.
We also sell them. Email us for a Cobaltss.net price!

i have to give you guys a review on the comp cams. i had a comp cam in my civic and i have to say that the cam was one of the best investments i made. i had a lot of head work that went along with the cam but man it dramatically increased my top end. now my idle was shot to hell. lol. it loped really hard, but i had the race cam and not the street cam. comp cams knows what they are doing!!!

Any word on when the valve springs/valves will be released to the public? I would be very interested in your Turbo cam set-up...that's a very nice/broad powerband according to your site!

I have the JBP stage 1 cams for ages now. I would consider the stage 2 cams if they didnt release them right after my stage 1 cams! the cams made a big difference, but i would let someone install them who knows what their doing.

player_1 keep us up to date as to how your stage 2s come along!

^ Correct, it is far easier then doing a cam install on the 2.4L cavalier engine

aren't these the cams for the 2.2?

i think this topic has been visited, and that the 2.0 has one cam longer than the other, and these won't fit/work properly...

I have no clue what cams do. All I know is that they make more hp and good top end. Could someone tell me what cams will do to the car?? Thanx

Camshafts (or cams) are what control your intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder.

Cams are driven by the timing belt. When the cam turns, it closes the exhaust valve, and opens the intake valve...or vice versa. This is all dependent on the timing and tuning of the car. The cams are ground to certain parameters that determine the length of time that each valve is open and the timing in which they close/open. As you probably know, for combustion in a cylinder, air and fuel are let in through intake valve into the cylinder. Then it closes and the spark plug goes off as the piston pushes the air/fuel up, creating combustion. Then the exhaust valve opens, exhaust gases escape and the piston is pushed down.

Aftermarket cams are designed to allow more air/fuel into each cylinder, usually at higher rpms. The more radical the cam, the better top-end performance you have, because the cams are then designed to be running at 5000+rpm or whatever. This usually results is poor idle quality. For example, when you go to the track and see pro street cars run, the idle sounds like its either going to die, or its real "lumpy." That means they have a very aggressive cam.

I hope that answered your question.
