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?

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...
