1 find a better mechanic..... hard to put on when the engine is out of the car WTF is that that would make it easy to put them on and waste of time WTF.... have you seen D Davis' dyno before and after the cam gears?
2 if cam gears are too hard then I can suggest nothing else to do to your car that would be easy other than a cip for the computer.
header for under $250 well that might be doable..... but you will still be spending about that much to have it modded to fit a contour.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

maybe he meant cams? cause you can see the camgears when the hood is poped?no? arent they right above the crank pulley and run off the same belt?
the header i need cause working with the rusted exhaust manifold will be a [censored] to weld....you have any sites for a cheap header i just need one temporary for NOPI cause i am going turbo after that...

no they do not run off the same belt. you have two belts in the car. your timing belt, which the cams use and your serpentine belt which goes with your crank pulley.
speaking of timing belts guys...i think its time for a new one for me. Mine is walking and is hitting something in the engine bay. (sorry to hijack but this seemed like a good place to bring this up) where can i get one and how much are they? I know they are expensive but I'm just wondering if I could find one cheaper than I've seen. Let me know.

well get the cam gears off and it's not much more work to remove the cams..... any if he says that cams are not worth it again FIND A NEW MECHANIC, or better yet take and automotive class or two and be your own.

so what kind of gains can you expect from cam gears(am i right in assuming theres two? cause zx2tuner sells one, while CTA sells them in pairs) can i use the cam gears with turbo...what is the best degree to set them at??? any one have any pics of there engine bay with the cam gears?

Setting the gears with a dyno is the only accurate method.
Not using a dyno, you will never know just how much you gained or lost, if you set them wrong.
