Cams without tuning

Im looking to get a set of cams for me 05 base 2.2. I have exhaust, header, intake mods done.
do you think this is a good idea?

has anyone installed 2.2L cams with out needing to tune?

a fairly mild cam prolly wouldnt hurt anything, not too aggressive. but you wont get as much out of that mod w/o the tuning of course

I haven't heard of any 2.2 getting cams, but that could just be me. Try searching; I'm too lazy lol. But regardless, we still have to wait till sometime during the spring for tuning anyway.

What he said.

But don't expect optimum performance.

i have seen comp cams, jpb and another company with cams for our 2.2s, its just the fact of tuning.

alright, how about the stage 2 cams and a tuner, does 20whp sound realistic????
im really aiming for 30whp...

They claim since the work in the Cavy like that they work in the cobalt like that. Who knows...I didn't want to spend all that money on cams that would screw a car over
