Default cams and power

I was wondering what is the average amount of power that a cam can give a 2004 GT and how much does it cost to have one installed

One cam in a 2V will give you ZERO gains.

Because a 2v motor has cams, not a cam.

With what you have, stage 1 cams are for you. 15-20 hp I'd think.

To get the most potential, I'd do headers, 70 or 75mm tb/plenum, then heads and cams. It's got to breathe better to get the full potential from it. Even if you don't want better heads, the headers and tb/plenum will let the cams perform better.

Personally, I plan to do headers, heads, and cams all at once with a tune. That has to be easier than piecing it together.
