Default cam gears worth it?

is it worth doing the cam gear purchase and install?
i heard they help by 18hp if you do the exhaust side.

also ive seen covers that show off the cam gears. is that just custom cut or something that can be purchased?

Depends what you plan on doing to the motor. I personally wouldn't touch them if you arnt going force induction.

The cam gear covers actually do some good. I just got my belts done and there was quite a lot of dirt built up on the gears. Cant imagine what they would look like if I didnt maintain my engine regularly.
