dude your car is only a single cam and your best bet is to call the guys at super six motor sports or morana racing morana racing specializes in the turbo cupe and the super coupe 3.8L motors i would call or email these two companys firsty

iight sounds like a plan but what do u guys think about a 3.73 gear ratio in the back?? im looking for a good perfomance street car with good power but can still be an everyday driver in a sence lol.. and i heard the 4.10 is good for the low torque but in the long run would ruin my upper end and the 3.73 is that inbetween so it helps both ends.. what do u guys think??

and with the cams what kind of gains will i be exspecting??

4.10s are fine, they only take away aboot 2-3mph up top. But if you're getting more power, your top speed will increase a little, etc.

i wouldn't bother with a new cam without upgrading the heads and intake.

^exactly what i was thinking^ get your heads ported/polished and a nice intake and then worry about a cam so that you can see a higher yield of horsepower...

Id just get a Power Pack from SSM if the heads are coming off anyways.
