you do realize that the cam tool from gm holds tension on the chain itself so it doesn't slip at the crank gear right?

I am sure with the stage 2 cams when he needs to adjust some things with the tuning, that his car will be running a hell of a lot quicker

well doing internal work on a motor will have some gains but no one has dyno the stage 2 cams yet with other bolt ons.More dyno tests less explaining on what you feel in the car

Everything is working right. Also every car is going to act a little different; so you will never have a so called perfected tune. You have to adjust to what your ECU likes. Cams are an excellent way to make more power. The more air you can suck in and let out, the better. Trust me it has plenty of "go" to it. As far as "guinea piggin", It's not like we were experimenting to see if they would work. I knew for a long time I could put different cams in.

You can accomplish the same thing by unscrewing the cam chain tensioner bolt from the back of the block. Why argue about this when it has been successful for 2 cobalts so far?

this is being debated now but they haven't gotten the revs that high yet due to the current tuning process. i believe whole-heartedly that these cams are going to build better power beyond the points that the stock springs are designed to manitain power at which point they will bind causing the valves to float.
