88958648, can be used in all three Ecotec engines.
If installed by your local dealership it would carry the balance of the factory warranty, or have a 12 month, or 12.,000 mile warranty whichever occurs first.
The GM parts catalog does not list estimated gains of the camshaft performance kit.
The performance parts catalog does not list whether or not the valve train requires to be upgraded.
Thank you for choosing www.GmPartsDirect.com

Thats quite a bit for cams, plus the dealership probly wouldnt touch the car. (unless you have a cool dealer)
I suggest if you want cams goto an aftermarket site and buy them there. It completly slips my mind who offers them right now but i know theres a few for cheaper.

If you have a socket set and a torque wrench you can really do this job yourself. Get a knowledgable buddy and a six pack and make an afternoon of it.

no .. lol i wish.. you wont have that deep lobe like a v8 because of the displacement of the motor, it will sound more .. im not sure of the word im looking for.. ill think about it and get back to you.

The specks out of the GMPP book for performance camshafts PN 88958648:
Duration @ 0.050" lift is 268 degrees on the intake and 268 degrees on the exhaust. Maximum lift is 0.464" for the intake and 0.464" on the exhaust. Lobe centerline is 232 degrees.
I'm curious on how they sound at idle in a stock engine -- do they cause a lope or do they idle fairly smooth? Anybody hear a 2.2L with these installed?

You're right that 268 looks sedate. However, the lobe separation is not listed -- if the lobe separation is 104-110 then the engine may be prone to lope. If the lobe separation is 112-118 then the idle wouldn't be bad.
I haven't worked with performance cams in Sequential Fuel Injection engines before -- only carburated and port injection -- could be a no-brainer.....just like to hear what this set sounds like first before I make a decision to purchase/install.
