just do it then
its a 80 dollar mod and if you have it apart might as well add a little bit of hp
on a NA motor the "gain" seen is that it seems to have top end power pull a little higher up top
you dont need cam gears or anything else
as stated before, instead of spending money on cams, and gears and other "small mods" like that, you will see alot more gains if you build your fuel system up a little more to handle more boost
spend money on mods to add boost and dont worry about any other mod, the stock cams are GREAT for boost

the exhaust cam is the same and ive read it advances timing by 6degrees so what gains/ difference will that really make and is this really even worth while as anyone done it on a boosted beta yet and i plan on rebuilding my motor with all forged internals this summer and i was gunna do the cam swap while i was at it

dude...you will not even notice any gains on a turbo engine, save that money and puts towards something that will give you gains...ie aftermarket cams, fuel upgrades, turbo upgrade...something that would actual yield some power
