Im thinking about buying these cams for my ecotec but wondering if I will need new cam gears too?........I know that on my 240sx motor I needed to buy adjustable cam gears when I bought cams for it.............just basically wanting to know if I can buy the cams and plug n play......
There are about 5 different grinds that comp offers if you have an ECO.
Which grind are you talking about?
There are stage 1,2,3 N/A a blower grind and I think a Turbo grind of some sort.

I am running the most extreame set, Comp Cam Stage 3 with a electromotive complete stand alone unit, with stock cam gears. I could get more power with adjustable and a tune, but at this time, they are not.

im ordering the stage 3s over the winter. i dont think the cams gears are necessary but it probably wouldnt hurt if you had teh cash.

Do you know which ones will throw CEL's with a otherwise stock engine/ECU?
I believe COMP's site says stage 2 and 3 will require calibration, but do you have any hands-on with this?

Stage 1, and turbo grind should not throw CEL codes
The other ones might, HP Tuners should help solve those out...

Thanks for the reply. It looks like the turbo and stage 1 grinds are very similar anyway - same lift, slighly less intake duration on the turbo grind, and much less duration on the exhaust side for the turbo grind.
Hence the wider advertised powerband for the turbo grind??
I'm guessing the turbo grind would produce some kind of gain even on an naturally aspirated engine; it's a significant increase of lift and duration over stock, but not as extreme as the stage three kit for example.
a few thousands changes a lot in cams

N/A engines benefit from a decent amount of overlap. Turbo engines, not so much. They probably took that into consideration when making both N/A and turbo cams. So on a N/A engine, the turbo cams may not work as well as you think when compaired to the N/A cams.
