Yeah, whoever has cams, could you please get some video of it, or sound of it starting up and idling, and if you dynoed the car with them, could you post up the dyno sheets???

I got JBP Stage 2 Cams,
but they will require tuneing. I get a non-performance effecting code. (info on JBP site)
but my car is stock except for the cams, and the cams cause the supercharger to over boost, and the by-pass valve dumps the boost back to stock levels at about 5600RPM from 100kpa to 87kpa (14.6 to 12.5).
plus side is, I make stock HP about 1000RPM sooner. (dyno on JBP site)
I tried the boost by-pass mod, and and the car pulled much harder, and I hit the rev limiter much quiker at about 110Kpa ( 16psi). I'd leave the mood but I'm worried about leaning out.

Hey turbo Tech. if i got the stage 2 or 3 cams. would i need valve springs or any other product to go along with it? also. how much is a basic install for these cams on our cars?

Install IMO would take about 2-3 hours, so $150-250 range i would guess to get installed.
The ecotec cams are actually easy to change, well atleast to the 2.4L LD9 out of the Cavalier.
If you dont want computer mods i would not recomend getting the stage 2 or 3.
You might get away with the stage 2 with no valve springs, but i know for a fact you need them for the stage 3 as we have them (in a 2.2L Ecotec).

the P0017 can only be read with the Tech 2, and then had to be looked up on the computer ( dealer data base). P0017 as a code indicating that the Cam angle, is different then the Crank angle, it has to do the way the cam is made. this is also directly related to the starting problem I'm haveing.
