From what I've read on these forums, cams are pretty pricey to install and unless you have money to blow or the car is a regular at the track, the cost isn't worth the 30-60 hp gain. I would say go with a twin screw supercharger but if you want a shaker system like the mach 1 go vortech/paxton. Overall HP gains really depends on the mods you choose and the tune on your car. As far as sound goes, YouTube is a great place to see how different exhaust and cam set ups sound. Sorry if this didn't really answer all of your questions but hopefully it helps a bit.

You can also look through the reviews on AmericanMuscle.com and you can usually find people listing their hp gains so you can get a general idea.
