Im looking to get a set of cams for me 05 base 2.2. I have exhaust, header, intake mods done.
do you think this is a good idea?

has anyone installed 2.2L cams with out needing to tune?

 

a fairly mild cam prolly wouldnt hurt anything, not too aggressive. but you wont get as much out of that mod w/o the tuning of course

 

I haven't heard of any 2.2 getting cams, but that could just be me. Try searching; I'm too lazy lol. But regardless, we still have to wait till sometime during the spring for tuning anyway.

 

What he said.

But don't expect optimum performance.

 

JBP claims there stage 3 cams don't need tuning, but thats really hard to believe

 

ya ive seen those and want to get those myself. but the no tuning issue is really hard to believe like you said. i mean i havent heard of any 2.2 guys with those cams on. but id like those a lot. cause im balanceing cams or NO2

 

i have seen comp cams, jpb and another company with cams for our 2.2s, its just the fact of tuning.

alright, how about the stage 2 cams and a tuner, does 20whp sound realistic????
im really aiming for 30whp...

 

They claim since the work in the Cavy like that they work in the cobalt like that. Who knows...I didn't want to spend all that money on cams that would screw a car over

 

exactly. and thats why im prolly gonna go spray plus its more hp per dollar

 

im looking to do a cam as well... just waiting on the income tax lol

 

sunrise, keep me posted how it workd out and how much it costs ya... it will be quite a while if i even get around to doing it.
