is all you have done to you car is 3.73s? if so getting cams right now for you wont be much of a difference, do full exhaust and intake work before the cams, then you will see the full potential of them

+1. You'll need every bolt on + cams to get 300 hp. What mods, besides gears, do you have right now?
