don't wast your money on pullys they are useless, as far as cam gears u may want to look into them when u get different cams if u are going n/a route.. best bang for buck would be a nice cat back exhuast u will feel a nice little difference in power, not a lot but noticable.. but u should first decide as tegbooster stated what your goals are and what u want to be doign with the car

Cam gears won't do anything if you are still running stock cams.

Exhaust would be a good start, but bolt-on power is very hard and expensive to obtain with an LS motor.

As mentioned, forget the cam gears for now. I would say look into gettin' an exhaust and a good header. Then work on cams and cam gears....and other engine internals. :goodjob:

haha absolutly, to see any major difference i had to throw like...2500ish into my motor, now im dumping that...and doing a 3-5k buildup....cam gears are more geared *hehe* to the tuning aspect of the car...so obviously when you have very little to tune....theres little or no use for them....ask GSSR, those things won't see more than 0* @ tdc for another year lol
