Probably 20-25 hp on average depending on the dyno.

Really thats all 20-25hp that seems quite low fow how much im payin! Is it a huge difference in the way the car performs before and after the cams, I hope I can atleast see a noticable difference in the way it accelerates?

sorry to break it to you, but cheap horsepower doesn't exist.

It will make a difference. Not huge, but definitely noticeable. You have to remember that we're talking 20-25 hp (or thereabouts) at the peak. Rev that thing out to 6300-6500 rpm, and it will be more like 30-40 hp.
