Default Should i trust this package?

I was on Racenet.net today looking at the head and cam package they have for the ls1-ls6 97 and up Corvette. It says it will add 50 to 100 hp and im thinking realisticly here comon it wont add 100hp exactly or mabey even close. Who knows... not me... so guys can you help me out with this issue. I want to know if racenet is a good company to trust in performace and parts. It runs me 2,200 for the whole package which i think is pretty great, but i need second opinions. And how much would the install be? Thanks

I'd stick with forum vendors personally. At least you know what you are getting. I've had nothing but good experiences with the vendors here.

Never heard of racenet.

Typical head/cam packages with the bolt-ons (headers, etc), will gain you 100-150hp at the wheels easily.
