Aftermarket cam gears on stock cams

[Diabolical EG]

Can aftermarket cam gears get extra hp from stock LS cams?

A Little.. But You Need To Strap It Down On The Dyno.. I Suggest Geting A Fpr, And Smoothing Out The Power Curve

Fuel Pressure Regulator right? and how much would it set me back?

is your car completely stock?

Wouldn't an adjustable cam gear on a stock cam just make it easier to adjust timing and slightly move the power band?

 

[Diabolical EG]

Which would result in a power increase?...dont laf u stupid ass

adjustable cam gears only make it easier to advance or retard your timing for tuning purposes( for nitrous, forced induction, cams, etc), while they may increase hp and torque its at a minuscule amount

You'd get only 5 hp increase at most on stock cams and stock engine setup....

the only way to find out if you increase the motor horsepower is put it in the dyno and tune it

Its not just for that, mostly what you speak of is ignition timing. Adjustable cam gears are mainly used for dialing out overlap, which is a very small amount of "slack" between the bottom end and the head. Degreeing the cams takes time and experience, and usually with it out of the car will run $5-$600 from a good tuner. I don't have a degree wheel of the necessary tools to do it myself or I would.
Can you gain a few hp by dialing in your cams? Maybe?
Would I buy cam gears for a stock cam? Hell No.

I also heard that removing your powersteering i'm guessing the belt, you can gain sum hp...is it because you ease the stress on the crankshaft?

That is true, and the same when you don't run a/c.

You can get lightened pulleys and free up some power but still run the options.
