New cam help

So last year I got headers, cam, tune, cai and I put down 400/400 to the wheels. I want to get a every day drivable cam. What type of performance increase can I expect?

What cam do you have now? How "driveable" is it to you?

Something is not right here.

Good with no issues at all, doesn't matter if your L99 or Ls3.
Will support any s/c or combo of both and spray if that's what your trying to ask.

Yep, those numbers sound low for headers/cam. I was running a cam with a 111 LSA and it had a tendency to buck when the RPMs were 1200-1300 or below. I'm running Jannetty's rough idle blower cam now, and I have zero drivebility issues...can cruise @ 1000 RPMs with no problems.

I hope he means factory.... or i would be asking for my money back. LS3 should put that down with headers, cai and tune alone...
