i dunno about the 22hp cams but they said the ecotec give 13 but i asked them and they told me they didnt dyno them yet.

correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to remove a 2.4 before you can pull the cams? If not i'll be pissed. I sold off my grand am 2.4 (sweet ass car it was) and i was told i had to pull the motor to change them out. I would have done the secret cam swap.
But if u do have to pull the motor, then i would rethink my mods list.

no you don't have to pull the motor....

no way do you have to pull the motor to change cams on the LD9.

has anyone ever ran a before and after dyno test for this? No, and if they have it has never been posted here. 15 is a seat of the pants dyno result. If I had to guess, I would say closer to 10...but until someone puts it on the dyno, we will never know.

some one did do a dyno, a long time ago they got some think 8-12HP gain. That was done before i got my cams and i have had my cams for about 2 years now.

Jrs Z, this is probably the most written about topic in this forum. just go to the top of this forum and typ in "secret cam" and as of this time ther were 36 postings on the quick search, archives has 46(excluding replies) and who knows how many in-between.
if you throw the stage two on it will just slow your car untill it modded higher
