Which Cam?
so, I can't get enough, I have custom tune, Melrose Jet Coated LT headers, Pace Car Catbacks and am considering the next engine MOD.
All installed perfectly at Corvette Sports in Sheboygan Falls, WI
Now, thinking Cam. Is this the next logical step? I don't think I'll get into head replacement or SC but who knows!
What rwhp or tq can I expect from a Cam?

Since no one else responded, I will give you my small minded advise. I am about the same point you are. I have headers, cat back, ect. simple stuff. I have an automatic 00 convertable. I had a cam AND a torque converter put on a few months ago. Before those 2 things I was pushing 329 RWHP and 343 Tq. After $4500+, I am pushing 370 RWHP. The car absolutely screams. I guess you would see an even better gain if you had a stick, not only does my auto trans eat some HP, but now my torque converter eats some extra HP also. However, I went from a 13.12 in the 1/4 mile to a 12.74(tires still losing traction)
Now, a fair amount of that came from the stall, not just the cam. But I did not want to do heads either, I was in the same boat as you. I had a 124/128 Comp Cam put in. I dont know the specifics, but I absolutely love it.
