Comp cams?
All my upgrades are in my sig... Since I live in CA and can't got with LTs, I was looking at comp cams for a good power bump. I want to remain NA so no blower. What kind of gains could I expect with moderate cam and a good tune?
Also once the engine is cracked open is there anything that I should upgrade???
I have 133,000 HARD miles on it.

I've went this route before with my 04 gt. 30 hp will be very unlikely. 15-20 peak hp is more realistic if just doing cams alone. Trust me i've been there lol
Also, make sure which ever cams you choose that they will clear the intake valves. The stock PI heads don't offer much room at all when it comes to cams.

Hey TRAVIS87 just checked them for you:
55mph - 1800 rpm
60mph - 2000
65mph - 2100
70mph - 2300
75mph - 2500
Honestly I wish I would have got the 4.10's!!!
As you can see the 3.73's aren't very aggressive.
